Abstract
A graphite article formed of a creped graphite sheet is provided. The creped graphite sheet has a first major surface and a second major surface oppositely disposed to the first major surface and a plurality of macrofolds, each macrofold having a plurality of associated microfolds, wherein each microfold is smaller than the associated macrofold. The creped graphite article has improved flexibility as compared to a graphite sheet which has not been creped. The creped graphite sheet can be formed of a sheet of flexible natural graphite or a sheet of synthetic graphite.
