| Abstract Scope |
The paradigm shift from van der Waals-bonded structures to innovative 2D materials produced through selective etching has introduced MXenes—2D carbides and nitrides of transition metals—as versatile building blocks within the family of 2D materials. Metal-MXene heterostructures, particularly with metals like copper and aluminum, offer avenues to improve conductivity and modulate corrosion resistance in composite materials. This presentation will discuss advanced processing of metal-MXene composites and methodologies to enhance conductivity, mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance. Specifically, it will address scalable MXene production and methods to achieve uniform dispersions of MXenes anchored to metal particles through solution-based methods and consolidation techniques, and characterization of cast samples to enhance conductivity in metal matrix composites. This research aims to modulate the properties of metal-MXene composites, potentially leading to substantial advancements in conductivity, corrosion resistance, and mechanical strength. |
