Abstract
[Problem] To reduce thermal resistance between a heating body and a radiating body. [Solving Means] Provided is a sheet having a high thermal conductivity and flexibility, in which graphite layers and elastic layers are stacked alternately, and each of ends of the graphite layer in its surface direction or each of ends of a graphene protrudes from an end of the elastic layer and bends so as to cover at least a part of the end of the elastic layer. By placing a sheet of the present invention in a space (gap) between a heating body and a radiating body, thermal resistance at the gap, especially contact thermal resistance on a joint surface, can be reduced even in the case where flatness of a surface of the heating body or a surface of the radiating body is small.
