The Thermophysical Properties of Matter Database (TPMD) contains thermophysical properties of over 5,000 materials with approximately 50,000 data curves that illustrate how various properties of materials behave under different test conditions. The database is searchable by material group, material name, property group, property name and independent variable. For all data curves, the material composition, experimental conditions, raw or smoothed data, and references are given. These references may be to published literature, theses, or technical and laboratory reports. Dynamic graphing capabilities allow users to compare the same property of multiple materials or the same material under different conditions, as well as change the ranges on the graph axes.

The database is produced by CINDAS LLC. For more than 45 years, the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) at Purdue University has managed a comprehensive and systematic research program on the properties and behavior of materials. This research program involves basic and applied research, using both experimental techniques and data from relevant worldwide scientific and technical literature. The end result is the compilation, critical evaluation, correlation, and synthesis of both existing and new experimental data to produce reliable reference data (recommended values), as well as the generation of estimated values to fill data gaps. CINDAS also produces a "companion" database to TPMD: the Microelectronics Packaging Materials Database (MPMD).

On CSA Illumina, TPMD can be searched as a stand alone file or, alternatively, it can be accessed via a search of CSA databases that contain related materials science records, such as the CSA Technology Research Database.
