Abstract

Stepwise, functionally- graded synthetic graphite/phenolic nanocomposites (FGNs) were fabricated using a combined powder stacking and compression moulding techniques. Ball milling was used to homogeneously distribute synthetic graphite within the phenolic resin matrix. The process allowed FGNs with four different microstructure gradient patterns of the same geometry and graphite content, as well as non-graded nanocomposites (NGNs), to be fabricated. It was found that the thermal properties of nanocomposites could be manipulated by changing the gradient patterns.
