Abstract: This study focused on the influence of the state of curing on the thermal conductivity of the subsequent rubber compound. The TPS instrument was chosen to perform the measurements due to its fast test times and non destructive method of testing. Vulcanization rate was found to have a significant impact on the thermal conductivity of the product
