Abstract
Structural insulating materials used in superconducting magnets must satisfy severe conditions, such as high mechanical strength, but also show a low thermal contraction to maintain the windings under compression inside an external casing both at room and at liquid helium temperature. This condition is necessary to avoid slight relative displacements of the superconductor under electromagnetic forces, which can lead to energy release and unstable behavior of the coils.
