Abstract
Thermal conductivity of the opal-epoxy resin nanocomposite is measured in the range 4.2–250 K, and the material is studied by electron microscopy at 300 K. An analysis of the electron microscope images permits a conclusion on the character of opal void filling by the epoxy resin. It is shown that the thermal conductivity of the nanocomposite within the range 40–160 K can be fitted fairly well by the corresponding standard expressions for composites. For T<40 K and T>160 K, the experimental values of the nanocomposite thermal conductivity deviate strongly from the calculated figures.
