Abstract
This paper presents a short review of the behaviour of the thermal conductivity and the thermal expansion of non-metallic particle-filled and fibre-filled composite materials from room temperature down to liquid helium temperatures. A brief discussion of the physical mechanisms which are involved and the possibility of predicting the thermal properties of a composite is also given.
