ShareSummary
The thermal conductivity of oak and maple was investigated in the temperature range 0.02-1 K. The thermal conductivity of hardwoods behaves very similarly in terms of magnitude and temperature dependence to insulators like aluminium oxide or polyimids. Therefore, hardwood turns out to be a very reasonable substitute for plastics or aluminium oxide in cases where easy machining, good mechanical strength and very low thermal conductivity are required for parts used in low temperature experiments. Maple is favoured because of the smoother surface structure obtainable after machining.
