ʻO nā hiʻohiʻona o ka pauka Graphite: ikaika ka uila a me ka thermal conductivity, ka maʻemaʻe kiʻekiʻe a me ke ʻano crystalline kiʻekiʻe, ke kūpaʻa ikaika (ʻaʻole i loli nā molekala kalapona i ke kiʻekiʻe wela), a me ka lubricity kiʻekiʻe.
He mau makahiki o ka ʻike ʻo Hexi Carbon i ka hana ʻana i nā mea graphite, alakaʻi i ka ʻenehana hana a ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hana kumukūʻai.
