Adiabatic conductivity

Adiabatic conductivity generally refers to the thermal conductivity of a material under adiabatic conditions, which means that no heat is exchanged with the surroundings. In thermodynamics, an adiabatic process is one in which a system does not gain or lose heat to its surroundings. In the context of materials science and thermal engineering, adiabatic conductivity can be important for understanding how heat is conducted through a material when heat exchange is negligible.
