Abstract
A multi-layer material comprises at least two layers of flexible material, including one layer based on electrically conductive, expanded recompressed graphite and another layer based on a metal, wherein the layer of graphite has at least one face thereof covered at every point by a layer of metal and in direct electrical contact with the layer of metal, and wherein the layer of metal is obtained by electrodeposition or by chemical deposit of at least one metal on the layer of graphite in such a way that the layer of metal adheres directly to the layer of graphite and closely matches the micro-relief thereof.
