Abstract
A polymer matrix composite is provided including graphitized vapor grown carbon fiber mats. A mat comprises semi-continuous vapor grown carbon fiber. The preferred method of producing the composite includes the steps of providing at least one mat of vapor grown carbon fiber and infiltrating liquidized polymeric material into the interstices of the mat by a hot press process. The resulting polymer matrix composite has a thermal conductivity between 400 W/m-K and 700 W/m-K, a density between 1.10-1.40/cc, and an insulating surface, and is useful as a component it electronic devices, aircraft, spacecraft, portable electronics, and other thermal management applications.
