This study uses high-throughput molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and active learning (AL) to identify polymer blends with enhanced thermal conductivity (TC). MD simulations determined the TC of single-component polymers and blends. An AL framework efficiently explored the TC of 550,000 polymer blends, accelerating the discovery of high-performance blends. The relationship between TC, radius of gyration (Rg), and hydrogen bonding was analyzed, revealing the importance of inter- and intra-chain interactions.
