In-Situ Synthesis of TPU/MXene Nanocomposites;The Role of Interfacial Interaction on Mechanical Properties

Considering that interfacial adhesion plays a key role in determining the mechanical properties ofnanocomposites, we attempted to synthesis thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU)/MXenenanocomposites with covalently bonded TPU chains on the surfaces of MXene nanosheets throughan in-situ polymerization method. Different analyses showed that some TPU chains start to growfrom the MXene surfaces leading to significant improvements in the mechanical properties of theTPU/MXene nanocomposite compared to neat TPU and solution-mixed TPU/MXenenanocomposites.
