Simple Protein Foaming‐Derived 3D Segregated MgO Networks in Epoxy Composites with Outstanding Thermal Conductivity Properties (Adv. Sci. 33/2025)

Thermal Conductivity Frequent battery fires in electric vehicles highlight the urgent need for efficient thermal-management systems. Thermal interface materials (TIMs) fill air gaps between heat sources and sinks to improve heat transfer. In this study, a 3D segregated MgO structure was fabricated using a simple, eco-friendly protein foaming method, forming a continuous filler network that significantly enhances the thermal conductivity of MgO-based TIM composites.
