graphene : patent surge reveals global race, page-10

I dont think any two of you have any idea at all what synthetic
or natural graphite is, this link to Ashbury Carbon should put
both of you on the same wave lenght lol

maybe you will lean something new.

Although synthetic graphite can be manufactured from any number of precursor materials the primary material used to manufacture it in the United States is petroleum coke. As noted above only certain types of carbonaceous feeds are suitable for graphite production. Therefore the petroleum coke used for the synthetic graphite industry must be carefully specified to assure it is of the type that will ultimately result in high quality graphitic carbon.

For the 'flake heads' there is alot more on Ashbury's home page.

At the end of the day, its all about the purity of the graphite.

Now go back out to lunch.
