LHC990 Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Does fine, pure graphite block electromagnetic waves like aluminium or other conductive metals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeonBlack Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 It depends on the wavelength you want to block and the thickness of the material, but yes it can. Just not quite as well as materials with higher condivtivity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

insane_alien Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 graphite tends not to be very good at it because it will conduct fine in one direction but not very well in another, this is due to the lattice structure of the graphite. also, its sound absorbing properties would not be very good i would imagine.
