A method of forming a bulk product includes the step of coating a particulate conductive phase material with a binder phase, and forming the coated conductive phase material into at least one of sheet stock, tape formed into a bulk material. A method of forming a bulk product includes the step of coating a particulate conductive phase material with a binder phase and forming the coated conductive phase material into a bulk material. The conductive phase material includes at least one of two dimensional materials, single layer materials, carbon nanotubes, boron nitride nanotubes, aluminum nitride and molybdenum disulphide (MoS2). A component is also disclosed.
