Abstract
Mesophase pitch and natural graphite flake were applied as raw materials to prepare the graphite materials by a hot-pressing technique at a relatively low temperature. In this work, the effect of mean size of natural graphite flake on physical properties and microstructure of the graphite materials were investigated. X-ray analyses, field emission scanning electron microscopy and polarized light microscopy observations indicate that the graphite blocks have highly preferred structural orientation perpendicular to the hot-pressing direction. Results shows that the graphite materials have a low electrical resistivity of 2.45μΩ·m and a high thermal conductivity of 498 W/m·K ,as well as a high bending strength of 26.71 MPa when the mean size of graphite flake in raw materials was 425μm.
