diffusion diffusion coefficient			Thermophysical properties, such as thermal diffusivity and thermal conductivity, are also discussed. Microstructure analyses and thermophysical properties of ... by Zhou, Hong; Li, Fei; Wang, Jun; Sun, Bao-de / JCT Research It is used for insulation and has low thermal diffusivity (measure of how quickly a material can absorb heat from its surroundings). Eco-Friendly Decking the Real Deal by Rosimar A Lehr / Home improvement and landscaping community The thermal diffusivity of rubber compounds is by far too low to equalize such temperature differences by lateral heat conduction during the relatively short injection phase.
