An original process was performed to obtain pulverulent graphite powder by grinding an exfoliated graphite - organic solvent mixture. This method leads to particles characterized by a large dimensional anisotropy. The sizes of the flakes are : an average diameter of about ten micrometers and a thickness below 0.1 micrometer. Scanning electron microscopy confirms this morphology; transmission electron microscopy indicates that most of the flakes are single crystals. Specific area is superior to 20 m(2)/g with a surface homogeneity identical to that of the parent exfoliated graphite. The planeity of the particles allows them to lay on a surface with a mosaic spread less than 15 degrees. This new material has been called G.M.P. " Graphite Micronique Plat " (Flat Micronic Graphite)
