USGT Graphite and diamonds are the only two naturally formed polymers of carbon. Graphite is essentially a two dimensional, planar crystal structure whereas diamonds are a three dimensional structure. Graphite is an excellent conductor of heat and electricity and has the highest natural strength and stiffness of any material. It maintains its strength and stability to temperatures in excess of 3,600°C and is very resistant to chemical attack. At the same time it is one of the lightest of all reinforcing agents and it has a high natural lubricity. Graphite is used in many applications and meets a variety of needs in science and industry, including vehicle battery development, alternative energy storage, and mobile device technology. As a result, the market for graphite continues to grow exponentially.
