High-performance thermal management materials are essential in miniaturized, highly integrated, and high-power modern electronics for heat dissipation. In this context, the large interface resistance (ITR) that occurs between fillers organic matrix polymer-based nanocomposites greatly limits their conductive performance. Herein, through-plane direction aligned three-dimensional (3D) MXene/silver (Ag) aerogels designed as transferring skeletons epoxy nanocomposites. Ag nanoparticles (NPs)...
