A graphite body comprises aligned graphite flakes bonded with a binder, in which the graphite has an average particle size of >200 mum. Methods of forming such highly oriented graphite material include:- a) forming a mixture of a mesophase pitch with a graphite powder; b) rolling the mixture to align the graphite powder and to form a body of graphite and pitch; c) carbonising the body; and optionally d) graphitising the body. Pressing rather than rolling may be employed. Such graphite bodies have high thermal conductivity and anisotropy and may be used for thermal management.
