A non-metallic honeycomb structure (10) wherein the thermal conductivity of the structure is increased by incorporating high thermal conductivity pitch-based carbon fibers (20) into the non-metallic resin matrix. In addition to increasing thermal conductivity, the pitch-based carbon fibers (20) are utilized to provide controlled directional heat conductance through the honeycomb structure. In a preferred exemplary embodiment, the cell walls (80) are formed from a plurality of non-metallic unidirectional fabric layers (82, 84, 86), at least one of which consists essentially of unidirectionally oriented high thermal conductivity fibers. |
