Properties at Cryogenic Temperatures

The physical properties of Ryton R-4 40% glass fiber reinforced PPS have been determined at
cryogenic temperatures in liquid nitrogen (77 K) and in liquid helium (4.2 K). The mechanical
properties of the material were not reduced even at these extremely low temperatures. From
additional studies, it appeared that 40% glass fiber reinforced PPS also retained its excellent
electrical properties at cryogenic temperatures. Other Ryton PPS compounds would be expected
to show similar retention of properties at cryogenic temperatures.
