  • Chapter
Thermal Conductivity

Part of the book series: Physics of Solids and Liquids ((PSLI))

4. Conclusions

In many applications of ceramic and glass materials, appropriate thermal conductivity is intrinsically linked to their applications. Through selected examples, we have illustrated how recent advances in thermal conductivity allow us to better understand thermal conductivities of ceramics and glasses, thereby advancing uses of these important materials.
