This, the second special topical conference on the properties of
Non-Metallic Materials at Low Temperatures, was sponsored by the
International Cryogenic Materials Conference Board. The potential
for plastics materials in the field of cryogenics is vast and as
yet only partly explored. In addition, many other materials, which
qualify for the title non-metallic but are not 'plastics', have
numerous possible outlets in low temperature technology. This
conference aimed at providing a forum, whereby specialists from
Industry, the Universities and from Government sponsored
Institutions could assemble to discuss the extent of our current
knowledge. As it transpired, the meeting was also to high light the
considerable gaps that still exist in our fundamental understanding
of the low temperature behaviour of these materials. On this theme,
during the course of the conference, a reference was made to an
almost forgotten quotation by Lord Kelvin, who said: "When you
cannot measure what you are speaking about, when you cannot express
in numbers, your knowledge is of a meagre and unsatisfactory kind;
it may be the beginning of knowledge, but you have scarcely in your
thoughts advanced to the stage of a science, whatever the matter
be." This simple statement sums up the aims, objectives and
hopefully the achievements of this conference. To discuss and
disseminate the current knowledge on non-metallic materials in
order that realistic predictions of in-service performance may be
made."
