Abstract
We discuss the effect of the chemical composition of heat blanketing envelopes of neutron stars (NSs) on the interpretation of the observations of these stars. First we analyze the diffusive fluxes of ions in non-isothermal and non-ideal Coulomb plasmas. Then we outline models of diffusively-equilibrated heat blanketing envelopes composed of binary ionic mixtures and finally we study their effect on the cooling of isolated NSs.
