Thermal Conductivity of Oxidized Copper

You are talking about TC in direct conduction, not radiant heat transfer, right? I don't see it having a measurable impact, unless you are talking about a thin film of Cu. If you are dealing with a heat tint film that is measured in angstroms it will not impact bulk properties. If your oxide fill is thick enough to be dark and porous then it may have a significant effect. The TC of copper oxide is about 1/20 that of the metal.
