| Abstract Scope |
MXene materials have garnered significant attention due to their versatility and potential to enhance metal or ceramic matrices in advanced nanocomposites. This study presents a method for producing bulk MXene/ceramic nanocomposites through the mixing of MXene with ceramic particles, followed by field-assisted sintering. Our findings reveal that MXene significantly accelerates the densification process at lower temperatures when Ti3C2Tz is uniformly distributed along the alumina grain boundaries. The resulting Ti3C2Tz/alumina nanocomposites exhibit notable electrical conductivity and strong light absorption capabilities. We achieved the desired preferred orientation, with particles elongated perpendicular to the applied pressure during sintering. This new morphology reached the percolation threshold and demonstrated high electrical conductivity with approximately one-third of the TiC content required in conventional composites. |
