Carbon materials as versatile fillers have drawn increasing attention in thermal conductive polymer composites, however, the thermal conductivity (TC) regulation of them remains challenging. Herein, the tunable lattice thermal conductivity is reported for glucose derived graphitic carbon nanoparticles (GCPs) and their polymer composites. Both the in-plane (La) and out-of-plane (Lc) coherence lengths of GCPs increase with carbonization temperature in the range of 700 °C to 1300 °C. The intrinsic TC of GCPs film is directly extracted from the dependence of the Raman G peak frequency on the excitation laser power and the first order temperature coefficient. It is found that the in-plane lattice TC increases exponentially with both of the increasing La and decreasing defect concentration. The GCPs are then used as highly processible fillers to fabricate thermoset composites based on reactive benzoxazine (BA-a). The total TC of the poly(BA-a)/GCPs are found increase monotonically from 0.27 W·m-1·K-1 to 0.34 W·m-1·K-1 with the increasing graphitization levels of GCPs, and a clear signature of thermal percolation threshold at 6 vol% GCPs loadings is also observed.
