This update covers the latest materials progress, including discussions from the monthly phone meetings, information on Twiki, and an item check list to help keep us on track. Some items discussed include the report, a delay in the BN loaded Hysol, new material ordered with bigger grains for higher conductivity, and upcoming measurements for AUW.

Items to cover • Monthly phone meetings started (2 so far) • Details on Twiki • Item check list to keep us on track – included at end of slides Some items from list • Report • Yet another delay - sorry • BN loaded Hysol • New material ordered from Momentive with bigger grains -> higher conductivity • Order placed 8/3 ? – hopefully have soon • Poco-S/S interface under shear • Mechanical test sample proved jig • Real measurements next week – aim for first data for AUW • Thermal conductivity of Allcomp Foam • Previous measurements were probably wrong • Material appears isotropic with k=70 W/mK measured in through & in-plane • Glue creep measurements • Standards ordered and test spec being written • Foam Modules tests • Difficult problem to understand correctly. • Talking with Ryan Page from “low mass” project viz modelling • Cleavage test of glued CFRP samples • Need new samples • Radiation tests • Big late – working on this for AUW
