Abstract: The application of scanning thermal microscopy(SThM) technique in the studies of bio-composites interface characteristics and the thermal conductivity characteristics in micro-scale of biomass materials was discussed using red oak and rice straw cell as research objects. The results indicated that the thermal conductivity mode of SThM could imaged the microstructure of biomass cell very well, and the thermal conductivity characteristics of these two biomass were similar. This showed that the thermal conductivity of S2 layer was higher than that of middle lamella of cell wall(CML).

Key words: SThM, rice straw, red oak, cell wall, thermal conductivity properties
