Abstract
Thermo physical properties of Alates (Swarmers) termite wing has been investigated. The result of our investigation shows the values of thermo physical parameters of the sample materials as 0.0403Wm -1 K -1 being the mean thermal conductivity value, bulk density of 188. 8kgm-3 and thermal diffusively value being 8.2485 x 10 -8 m 2 s -1 . The values are within the values for commonly used insulating materials. Comparing the rate of cooling as well as heat absorption into the material as lagging material with the performance of fiberglass and cork, Alate's wing is adjudged to be a potential insulating raw material.
研究了白蚁翅的热物理性质。研究结果表明，样品材料的热物性参数为0.0403Wm -1 K -1，为平均导热系数，堆积密度为188。热扩散值为8.2485 × 10 -8 m 2 s -1。这些数值在常用绝缘材料的数值范围内。通过与玻璃纤维和软木的性能比较，Alate翼作为滞后材料的冷却速率和吸热速率，判定Alate翼是一种潜在的隔热原料。
