Carbonized and graphitized carbon foams were formed by carbonization and graphitization. The microstructures and crystal parameters of carbon foams were characterized by SEM, OM and XRD. The compressive strength and thermal conductivity were also measured. The results show that the bubble holes distribute uniformly and the structures of the ligaments become more ordered with increasing the foaming pressure. But the number of obturated pores increases and the ligaments become more disorderly when the pressure reaches a certain degree. The maximum compressive strengths of carbonized and graphitized carbon foams are obtained at foaming pressure of 10 MPa, which are 8.19 MPa and 3.42 MPa, respectively. The thermal conductivity of graphitized carbon foam reaches the maximum value of 61.0 W/(m·K) at foaming pressure of 7 MPa.
