Abstract
A composite article including a fiber-reinforced resin composite having an internal portion, and an internal surface and an external surface; and a thermal article formed of an anisotropic graphite sheet having a thermo-mechanical design constant of at least 10 mm-W/m*K, the thermal article positioned in the internal portion of the fiber-reinforced resin composite, wherein the thermo-mechanical design constant of a material is defined by thermal conductivity of the material multiplied by its average thickness.
