Abstract
The paulownia wood is a very special material in wood. Especially, it has excellent flame retardancy. For this reason, it has been often used as drawer for a long time. So in this experiment, such property was verified with a combustion experiment of paulownia wood and a measurement of thermal conductivity. Moreover the structure of the material was analyzed by scanner electron microscope. As a result, in paulownia wood, the cell tissue is very porous like a honeycomb construction, when heated it is easily to carbonized, but hardly ignited. In general, the thermal conductivity of carbonization layer is lower than that of the wood material.
