Siloxane-decorated MXene nanosheet-reinforced EP composites with outstanding flame retardancy and liquid-oxygen compatibility for ultra-low-temperature applications

Abstract

Endowing epoxy resins (EPs) with satisfactory liquid-oxygen compatibility and ultra-low-temperature mechanical properties is an intractable challenge in the current aerospace industry. Appropriate flame retardants can provide systems with the above...

Tribo-electrical evaluation of conductive fluid film of Ti3C2Tz MXene-containing lubricant

“…MXenes, a new member of two-dimensional (2D) material family, has shown promise in reducing friction and wear due to their layered structure of transition metal carbides. 10–13 So far, MXenes have caught considerable attention in the fields of energy storage, 14–18 polymer, 19 environments, 20,21 and thermal management. 22,23 Previous studies showed that adding limited amount of MXene to base oils such as polyalphaolefin (PAO) and silicon oil can reduce the coefficient of friction.…”
