It relates to the Graphite content and the quality of your graphite.
for 50% loading, 5W/mK is possible.
It increase with increasing the graphite content, for 80% loading might be about 7W/mK. 10W/mK is also attainable for some special kinds of graphite including graphene nanoplatelets.
An increase in temperature generally leads to an increase in the thermal conductivity of epoxy resin. This is because at higher temperatures, the molecules in the resin vibrate more vigorously, allowing for better heat transfer between them. However, this relationship may not hold true for all types of epoxy resins, as factors like filler content and composition can also influence thermal conductivity.

Yes, epoxy can be used as a composite material. In composites, epoxy is often combined with fibers such as carbon or glass to create a strong and lightweight material with unique properties. The combination of epoxy resin and reinforcing fibers results in a composite structure that is commonly used in various industries like aerospace and automotive.

Carbon fibers are made almost entirely of graphite. Carbon fiber composite, sometimes referred to as "carbon fiber", is made of carbon fibers and a matrix material, which is usually a plastic such as epoxy.
