What is it about?
Measurement and comparative analysis of the thermal conductivity of high-purity aluminum and copper, artificial and natural graphite, flexible graphite foil, and a multilayer graphite foil/polyethylene composite were performed using a steady-state Fourier method. The study quantifies heat-transport efficiency across metallic, graphitic, and composite systems, providing insight into structure–property relationships relevant to thermal management applications.

Why is it important?
Validates measurement methodology and reveals that flexible graphite foils/composites combine high thermal conductivity with low weight, making them promising for thermal management in aerospace, microelectronics, and lithium-ion batteries.
Perspectives
Future work: test −50–250 °C, characterize high-density graphite foils and multilayer composites, and optimize manufacture. Aim: lighter, efficient heat-spreaders and thermal interface materials for aerospace, electronics, and batteries.
