“…Here, M represents the early transition metals, A for group II–IV elements in the periodic table and X can be either carbon or nitrogen. Out of the plethora, Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene attracted many researchers due to its excellent conductivity properties, mechanical performance and enhanced surface area and high aspect ratio [ 92 ]. The analogous behaviour of MXene with graphite in the case of structure makes them eligible for many applications.…”

“…The functional and mechanical properties of elastomers were improved by a hybrid filler system of MXene with carbon nanotubes. Initially, the hydrophobic MWCNTs were modified with CTAB(hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide) to establish an electrostatic interaction with the 2D hydrophilic MXene material and this hybrid filler was mixed with NBR latex to produce nanocomposites [ 92 ]. A green synthesis route was explored by Li et al to fabricate elastomer/Ti 3 C 2 nanocomposites for low rolling resistant tyre applications [ 93 ].…”

Growing natural calamities as a consequence of global warming are one of the most pondering subjects today. The exponential growth of environmental pollution due to unscientific human exploitation of natural resources is considered the prime reason for the harsh responses of nature. Researchers from various fields of industry and academia are working hard to develop and implement products/technologies that are environmentally friendly or less harmful to the ecosystem. Material researchers, specifically those working in the automobile sector are also not behind in search of green products from eco-friendly raw materials and production methods. The automobile industry is collectively responsible for around 40% of global pollution in terms of greenhouse gas emissions. Out of which around 20–30% is originating from tyre production and its end-use. In this view, tyre production from eco-friendly raw materials and technologies that have minimum hazardousness to the environment is a hot research topic today. A few products in the market with “green” tags and many are in the pipeline for the recent future. This review summarises a detailed discussion of the emerging green technologies for tyre production and depicted comprehensive data from the available literature. The paper has been drafted from a well-balanced academic and industrial point of view since the researchers from both sectors are working in harmony for a better future for green tyre technology.

“…Furthermore, the surface groups of MXene can form hydrogen bonds and other forces with the NBR macromolecules. Aakyiir et al [ 59 ] also prepared MXene/CNT/NBR composites after electrostatic assembly of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)-modified multi-walled CNTs (fixed amount of 2.9 vol%) with MXene. The surface modification increased the compatibility between nanofillers and NBR and promoted the interaction between hybrid fillers and elastomeric macromolecules, resulting in nanocomposites containing MXene/CNT hybrid fillers and achieving significantly higher performance than the same NBR composites under MXene loading ( Figure 5 c,d).…”

Two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal carbon/nitrogen/carbon nitride (MXene) has extremely high conductivity and easily modifiable surface functional groups. Compared with graphene, another 2D layered material, MXene is easily dispersed in water owing to its hydrophilic groups. Its unique characteristics make MXene a valuable material. Nanocomposites can be endowed with functionality when MXene is compounded with an elastomer. Particularly in electromagnetic interference shielding and sensing, MXene exhibits extraordinary properties. We review various preparation methods, properties, and applications of MXene and MXene/elastomer nanocomposites and present a summary of the prospects for MXene/elastomer nanocomposites, which are in their initial stage of development and providing promising results.

Recently, MXene has been identified as a novel reinforcing material for elastomers. Also, the free radical scavenging ability of MXene can be used to improve the antiaging properties of unsaturated elastomers, such as natural rubber (NR). In this study, Ti3C2Tx MXene is incorporated into NR at 0‐0.8 wt% to investigate the mechanical and antiaging properties of NR/MXene nanocomposites (NRMX). The resultant nanocomposites with increasing MXene content show improved tensile properties and storage modulus due to the homogeneous distribution of MXene in the nanocomposite, interfacial interaction between MXene and NR molecules, and immobilization of NR polymer chains by MXene. Also, the reduced permanent deformation and hysteresis indicate a lowered heat build‐up with increasing MXene concentration. Finally, the improved mechanical properties retention, increased glass transition temperature, and reduced free radical, ‐OH, and C=O formation upon accelerated aging confirm the enhancement of the antiaging properties of NRMX nanocomposites.This article is protected by copyright.
