Abstract

Flexible graphite is a flexible sheet made by compressing a collection of exfoliated graphite flakes without a binder. Due to the exfoliation, flexible graphite has a large specific area. As a result, flexible graphite is used as an adsorption substrate. It provides a well-balanced set of dynamic flexural properties, quite high values of both loss tangent and storage modulus. In addition, flexible graphite is chemically and thermally resistant, low in thermal expansion and high in thermal conductivity, in sharp contrast to rubber. The combination of these properties makes flexible graphite attractive for use in vibration damping.
