This study perfects the flame-retardant mechanism of MXene for polymer nanocomposites by comparing with MAX, demonstrating the significance of MXene's chemical component during the flame-retardant process, in addition to its physical barrier effect.
BACKGROUND: This paper describes the use of cotton stalk, an agricultural waste, for the preparation of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) using microwave heating. The study includes the optimization of pre-treatment and preparation processes, and the characterization of product.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
