The thermal conductivity of porous alumina ceramics prepared using different types of starch (potato, wheat, corn, and rice starch) as pore-forming agents is investigated from room temperature up to 500°C. The temperature dependence measured for alumina ceramics of different porosity (in the range 6–47%) is fitted with second-order polynomials and 1/T-type relations, and compared to available literature data for dense alumina. It is found that the porosity dependence of the relative thermal conductivity kr=k/k0is well described by a modified exponential relation of the form kr=exp(−1.5ϕ/(1−ϕ)), where ϕ is the porosity. This finding is in agreement with other literature data and seems to indicate a common feature of all porous materials with microstructures resulting from fugitive pore-forming agents.
