Abstract
Surface modification of MXenes significantly expands their potential for a wide range of applications. Here, we demonstrate a one-pot spontaneous polymerization of acrylic acid onto MXene sheet surfaces using an aryl diazonium coupling agent (nitrobenzene diazonium salt) as an approach to tune MXene interfacial properties. We use this formation of polymer coatings as a coagulation strategy for spinning fibers from liquid crystal MXene dispersions, obtaining densified free-standing fibers with tensile strength and breaking energy of ∼155 MPa and ∼4.5 MJ m−3. This simple method potentially offers a scalable approach for fabricating functional MXene macroarchitectures.
期刊介绍:
Surface and Coatings Technology is an international archival journal publishing scientific papers on significant developments in surface and interface engineering to modify and improve the surface properties of materials for protection in demanding contact conditions or aggressive environments, or for enhanced functional performance. Contributions range from original scientific articles concerned with fundamental and applied aspects of research or direct applications of metallic, inorganic, organic and composite coatings, to invited reviews of current technology in specific areas. Papers submitted to this journal are expected to be in line with the following aspects in processes, and properties/performance:
A. Processes: Physical and chemical vapour deposition techniques, thermal and plasma spraying, surface modification by directed energy techniques such as ion, electron and laser beams, thermo-chemical treatment, wet chemical and electrochemical processes such as plating, sol-gel coating, anodization, plasma electrolytic oxidation, etc., but excluding painting.
B. Properties/performance: friction performance, wear resistance (e.g., abrasion, erosion, fretting, etc), corrosion and oxidation resistance, thermal protection, diffusion resistance, hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity, and properties relevant to smart materials behaviour and enhanced multifunctional performance for environmental, energy and medical applications, but excluding device aspects.
