Hii!
Van der waal forces are the reason for lubricating properties of graphite. Due to these forces, the layers of graphite tend to slide over one another thus making them lubricating. The carbon atoms are loosely packed and there are free electrons moving around, making it a good conductor too.
Hope this helps.
Good luck!
