Micro-nano hybrid composites exhibiting desirable thermal conductivity levels due to the presence of specific ratios of graphite to graphene that have been found to reduce the overall thermal interface resistance. The composites are preferably epoxy matrix composites in some embodiments. Devices including the composites and methods of preparing the composites are also disclosed.

High thermal conductivity graphite and graphene-containing composites

A process for dispersing agglomerates or clusters of particles utilizing pressure generated from volatilization of an interstitial liquid. More particularly, the method relates to infusing the particles with a first liquid, placing the infused particles in a second liquid or fluid having a higher boiling point than the first liquid and heating the composition to a temperature above the boiling point of the first liquid thereby resulting in breakage of the particles. Compositions including particles dispersed by interstitial liquid vaporization are also disclosed.
