Graphene is the most thermally conductive of the non-metals, with thermal conductivity of ~3,000W/meter - K. Translating this thermal conductivity to particular applications depends on loading, matrix materials, and dispersion techniques.

In addition to increasing thermal conductivity, graphene nanoplatelets can be used to lower the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of composite materials.

For composite applications, loading bears an almost direct relationship to thermal conductivity. Here is an example of thermal conductivity in a control epoxy.

The actual performance of xGnP^® in a composite application will, of course, depend on matrix materials, processing, densities, and dispersion of the materials. In some cases, surface treatments or other functionalization can significantly improve results.
