Abstract
The invention presented relates to a process for providing increased electrical and/or thermal conductivity to a material, and to the materials prepared by the process. More particularly, the invention relates to a process involving applying particles of expanded graphite to a substrate or material in order to increase its conductivity. The particles of expanded graphite can be applied to the substrate or material through coating of the substrate with a composition comprising the expanded graphite particles, or by incorporating particles of expanded graphite into the substrate or material itself.
