AB  - The thermal conductivity of flake graphite (FG) particulates reinforced high 
      density polyethylene (HDPE) composites was systematically investigated under a 
      special dispersion state of FG particles. The effects of particle size, weight 
      filling ratio and proportion of various sizes were discussed in detail. A special 
      composite (15 wt % 500 mum/10 wt % 200 mum/10 wt % 20 mum/5 wt % 2 mum FG + 60 wt % 
      polyethylene (PE)) with a high thermal conductivity about 2.49 W/(m.K) was 
      produced by combining the synergistic effect of several fillers. The component 
      material size distribution was employed to analyze the effect of particle size. 
      And scanning electron microscope (SEM) was adopted to observe the FG network in 
      the composites. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) revealed the good thermal 
      stability of composites. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) indicated that 
      all composites own a similar melting temperature. Sample compression experiment 
      indicated that all composites still exhibit high mechanical strength. 
      Consequently, the easy-making flake graphite reinforced polyethylene composites 
      with a high thermal conductivity would have a wide application in the new 
      material field, such as a thermal interface material, a heat exchanger, voltage 
      cable, etc.
