Embodiments described herein relate generally to systems and methods for manufacturing a master batch with a graphitic material dispersed in a polymer matrix. In some embodiments, a method for manufacturing the master batch can include combining the graphitic material with a polymer, adding a supercritical fluid to the mixture, and depressurizing the supercritical fluid to remove the supercritical fluid. In some embodiments, the method includes mixing the graphitic material and the polymer for a first time period to form a first mixture and transferring the supercritical fluid to the first mixture to form a second mixture. In some embodiments, the method includes mixing the second mixture for a second time period and depressurizing the second mixture to allow the supercritical fluid to transition to a gas phase.

Provided is a composition for producing a graphite-polymer composite. A composition for producing a graphite-polymer composite according to an embodiment of the present invention is prepared by comprising: a heat radiation filler comprising a non-insulating filler and an insulating filler, the non-insulating filler comprising a graphite composite including nanoparticles combined to a surface of graphite and a catechol amine layer; and a matrix forming component comprising a thermoplastic polymer compound. According to the present invention, the composition leads to an improvement in insulation property of a heat radiation member and a minimization in deterioration of heat radiation performance of the heat radiation member, so that the utilization of the composition can be improved in industries requiring both heat radiation characteristics and heat insulation performance. In addition, the composition is combined with a base material, and thus is easily modified through injection/extrusion or the like at the time of molding and can be modified into various shapes. The composite produced according to the present invention expresses excellent heat radiation performance, secures excellent mechanical strength, and has excellent lightweightness and excellent economic feasibility, and thus can be widely applied to various technical fields requiring heat radiation.
