Carbon foam with relatively high compressive strength and suitable thermal conductivity was prepared from mixtures of mesocarbon microbeads (MCMBs) and mesophase pitch, followed by foaming, carbonization and graphitization. The influence of addition amount of MCMB on the properties of as-prepared carbon foams was investigated in detail. Results showed that addition of MCMBs into mesophase pitch could significantly reduce the amount and length of cracks in carbon foams, which results in increase of compressive strength of carbon foams. Carbon foam with high compressive strength of 23.7 MPa and suitable thermal conductivity of 43.7 W/mK, was obtained by adding 50 % MCMBs into mesophase pitch, followed by foaming, carbonization and graphitization.
