The thermal conductivity of CuO-B2O3 glass system has been experimentally determined in the temperature range 302-423 K. The data covered the glass composition range from 10 to 35 mol% of CuO. It has been observed that the thermal conductivity increases linearly with temperature. Thermal conductivity is composition dependent. The results obtained confirmed that the major contribution to the thermal conductivity of this glass system is due to lattice vibrations. The value of density, molar volume, lattice thermal conductivity (L), melting temperature, electronic (e) and bipolar component of thermal conductivity (bp), band gap energy are also reported. The physical properties like density, molecular weight, molar volume, hopping distance, polaron radius and number of ions per cm3 have been reported.
