Type of article: Article

Summary

THE THERMAL CONDUCTIVITIES OF SOME 2 DIMENSIONAL CARBON FIBRE IN CARBON (C-CF) COMPOSITE MATERIALS WERE MEASURED BETWEEN 1.5 AND 80 K. MEASUREMENTS UPON ONE SAMPLE WERE MADE DOWN TO 0.15 K. THE MATERIAL IS A VERY GOOD THERMAL INSULATOR WITH VERY LOW THERMAL EXPANSION AND IS EASY TO MACHINE. AS SUCH IT MAY BE USEFUL AS A LOW TEMPERATURE CONSTRUCTIONAL MATERIAL, THOUGH THE READINESS WITH WHICH THE MATERIAL ADSORBS GAS MAY LIMIT ITS APPLICATIONS.
