Thermal conductivity can be defined as the rate at which heat is transferred by conduction through a unit cross-section area of a material, when a temperature gradient exits perpendicular to the area.
Material with higher thermal conductivity tends to conduct more heat than material with lower conductivity for a given temperature. So, it is better if thermal conductivity is higher.
