A composite material was prepared from epoxy resin as a base material with the reinforcing materials (natural and synthetic styrene butane rubber) with different weight percentages and different results were obtained depending on the added weight percentages of the reinforcing material, and the effect was clear on the values of mechanical properties and thermal conductivity. The values of the hardness, shock and compressive strength increased after the reinforcing process, but the relationship was inverse between the hardness and compressibility with temperature. As for the shock resistance, it increased with an increase in temperature to 55 °C. As for the thermal conductivity, it decreased when adding natural styrene butadiene and increased by only one degree when adding synthetic styrene butadiene. It is noted that the results that appeared when adding natural styrene butadiene rubber as a reinforcement material is better than the reinforcement by means of synthetic styrene butadiene.
