摘要：
A series of epoxy resin (EP) filled graphite foam (GF) composites were prepared to explore a new material with good heat transfer property. The effects of the mass fraction of EP and the network structure of GFs on the thermal diffusivity and the compression strength of the composites were investigated. The thermal diffusivity of the GF/EP composite with EP mass fraction of 91.45% was raised to 6.541 mm(2)/s, which was 45.7 times higher than the pure EP. The thermal conductivity reached to 14.67 W/(m K), which was 43.1 times higher than the pure EP. The compression strength of the GF/EP increased 55% above the value of pure EP. In addition, the thermal diffusivity of GF/EP increased with the decrease of the mass fraction of EP. A model was formulated to calculate the pressure needed for a mass fraction of EP.
