conductivity /con·duc·tiv·i·ty/ (kon?duk-tiv´i-te) the capacity of a body to transmit a flow of electricity or heat; the conductance per unit area of the body.
conductivity, n the capacity for conduction; ability to convey. conductivity, electrical, n the ability of a material to conduct electricity. Metals are usually good conductors, and nonmetals are poor conductors. conductivity, thermal, n the ability of a material to transfer heat. Thermal conductivity is of great importance in dentistry, where a low thermal conductivity is desirable in restorative material and a high thermal conductivity is desirable when soft tissue is covered. conductivity capacity for conduction. |

Electrical conductivity is achieved with metal coated fillers. New Series 700 and 800 compounds reportedly allow for much better control and reproducibility of conductivity than does carbon black alone. In contrast, tests of 40-nm wires made of tin, of 70-nm zinc wires, and 40-nm zinc wires sandwiched between lead electrodes, found that the usual conductivity rules prevailed. |
