  1. h thickness of material, λ thermal conductivity, ρ density of material, Ra arithmetic average roughness, JCP Japanese cedar plywood
  2. aA heat flow meter (HFM 436 Lambda; NETZSCH, Selb, Germany), tuned according to ASTM C518-10 [19] and ISO8310 [20], was used. The direction of heat flow was vertically downward. The temperatures of the high- and low-temperature heat plates were 35 and 15 °C, respectively. The thermal conductivity at an average material temperature of 25 °C was calculated. The test specimens were used with the cedar plywood attached
  3. bThe samples were cured under the same environmental conditions as used in the thermal conductivity measurement; the mass was measured, and the density calculated. The samples with the cedar plywood adhered were used
  4. cA contact surface roughness profilometer (SE3500; Kosaka Laboratory Ltd., Tokyo, Japan) with a diamond needle was used. The evaluation length was 50 mm. The central portion of the samples was measured five times with 50-mm spacing, and the average value was calculated
