This document lists the thermal conductivity of various substances, expressed as a ratio. Substances with higher ratios conduct heat more effectively. Materials with very high conductivity include silver, copper, aluminum, and gold. Insulating materials like wood, paper, cotton, and wool have much lower conductivity. The information provides a means of comparing the relative abilities of different materials to conduct heat.
