Measurement of the thermal conductivity of solid substances by DSC

Measurement of the thermal conductivity of solid substances by DSC - Thermochimica Acta, 93, p.317-320, 1985 .

The" thermal conductivity of solid samples can be measured with DSC by melting experiments with a pure metal (indium or gallium)on top of cylindrical pellets. Particularly samples with a low thermal conductivity, like plastics or porous substances, can be determined.
