Flexible graphite, also known as exfoliated graphite, is synthesized from natural graphite flakes through a series of chemical and thermal treatments. Initially, the natural graphite flakes undergo oxidation with a highly oxidizing acid, forming intercalation compounds. These compounds are subsequently subjected to a rapid high-temperature treatment, which induces the exfoliation process, resulting in a significant increase in volume and the formation of flexible, lightweight graphite structures. The resulting exfoliated graphite exhibits unique properties, including high thermal and electrical conductivity, significant compressibility, and excellent mechanical flexibility. Following expansion, the exfoliated graphite is mechanically processed to produce various shaped products, including graphite foils and sheets, which are utilized in various applications, from gaskets and seals to advanced thermal management systems.
