Abstract
A process for easily fabricating thiol-acrylate and thiol-isocyanate based nanocomposites with well-dispersed two-dimensional titanium carbide (Ti₃C₂T_z) was explored. Ti₃C₂T_z produced using the LiF/HCl "clay" method and multilayer Ti₃C₂T_z etched with 10wt. % HF were dispersed in monomer solutions, which were then cured with highly efficient thiol "click" reactions to form composites. A method for treating HF-etched MXene with isocyanates to improve the dispersion of MXene in the polymer matrix was developed. The efficacy of the surface treatment was measured using diffractive and spectroscopic methods. Synthesized MXene-polymer nanocomposites were investigated for their mechanical and thermal properties over a range of filler concentrations.
