Preferred Label : polygranular graphite;
IUPAC definition : A graphite material composed of grains which can be clearly distinguished by means
of optical microscopy.;
Scope note : from the viewpoint of crystallinity, a polygranular graphite is always a polycrystalline
graphite but not vice versa. most industrial graphite materials are polygranular.
monogranular materials consist mostly of non-graphitic carbon, such materials are
called monolithic or agranular carbons.;
