MXene-Filled Polymer Nanocomposites MXenes are a new family of two-dimensional (2D) metal carbides, having properties such as metallic conductivity and hydrophilicity. Adding polymer binders/spacers between atomically thin MXene layers or reinforcing polymers with MXenes results in composite flms that have excellent fexibility, good tensile and compressive strengths, and electrical conductivity. This book covers all advances in the feld of MXene-flled polymer nanocomposites to date, illustrating fabrication and characterization, and specifc properties like anti-healing, antifriction, and microwave absorption. It further covers potential applications like energy conversion, storage systems, antibacterial, and drug delivery. The book features • exclusive material on MXene-based polymer nanocomposites; • properties and potential applications of polymers upon addition of MXenes; • the effect of MXenes on various thermoplastic and elastomer polymers; • a focus on the properties, fabrication methods, and applications of relevant polymer matrices; and • extensive coverage of the role of MXenes in polymers. This book is aimed at researchers, professionals, and graduate students in material science, polymer engineering, electronic materials, composites, chemical processing, chemical sciences, fre engineering, and biomedicine. Emerging Materials and Technologies Series Editor: Boris I. Kharissov The Emerging Materials and Technologies series is devoted to highlighting publications centered on emerging advanced materials and novel technologies. Attention is paid to those newly discovered or applied materials with potential to solve pressing societal problems and improve quality of life, corresponding to environmental protection, medicine, communications, energy, transportation, advanced manufacturing, and related areas. The series takes into account that, under present strong demands for energy, material, and cost savings, as well as heavy contamination problems and worldwide pandemic conditions, the area of emerging materials and related scalable technologies is a highly interdisciplinary feld, with the need for researchers, professionals, and academics across the spectrum of engineering and techno- logical disciplines. The main objective of this book series is to attract more attention to these materials and technologies and invite conversation among the international R&D community.
