Properties of composite materials for cryogenic applications.

Author(s) : SCHUTZ J. B.

Summary

Composite materials are used in a wide variety of cryogenic applications because of their unique and highly tailorable properties. These cryogenic applications of composites may be, for the sake of discussion, classified as support structures, vessels, or electrical insulation. Examples of these applications are presented, with a brief discussion of the critical material properties associated with each application. Composite material properties data, including mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties from the literature, are reviewed. Fabrication considerations and radiation effects are also discussed.
