We present measurements of the low-temperature thermal conductivity of a number of polymeric and composite materials from 0.3 to 4 K. The materials measured are Vespel SP-1, Vespel SP-22, unfilled PEEK, 30% carbon fiber-filled PEEK, 30% glass-filled PEEK, carbon fiber Graphlite composite rod, Torlon 4301, G-10/FR-4 fiberglass, pultruded fiberglass composite, Macor ceramic, and graphite rod. The...

Total hip replacement has been a successful surgical intervention for many years. However, concerns regarding UHMWPE wear particle induced osteolysis [1], have led to alternative bearing materials to be sought. Carbon-fibre reinforced poly-ether-ether-ketone (CFR-PEEK) is a fibre-reinforced polymer which has shown reduced wear in hip and knee configurations compared with conventional polyethyle...
