    Apparently better thermal conductivity than any metal.

    when a high thermal conductivity matrix such as graphitic carbon is used, not only do the fibers contribute to high thermal conductivity, but the matrix does as well. Since the thermal conductivity of graphite is higher than that of any metal, carbon/carbon would appear ideal for high thermal conductivity composites.

    I see what I see, and you see what you see. I can't make you see what I see, but I can tell you what I see is not what you see. Truth is, we see what we want to see, and what we want to see is what those around us see. And what we don't see is... well, conspiracies.

    And others don't know how to read and comprehend google hits. Where does the link even mention graphite foams? You might want to read this.

    Carbon sure is the future as graphite fiber reinforced composites or (encapsulated) pyrolytic graphite soon and nanotubes after that, but your foam claim is currently just BS.
