Graphical Abstract

An electron-rich tetrathiafulvalene-based reactive mesogen is developed by Kwang-Un Jeong and co-workers in their Research Article (e202504825) to enhance thermal conductivity in polymer composites through molecular-level interface engineering. Through combined structural, photophysical, and theoretical analyses, it is shown that strong affinity between the mesogen and nanofillers such as boron nitride and graphite significantly boosts thermal conductivity, offering a new strategy for interface-engineered thermal materials.
