Influence of synthesis parameters on mechanical properties of nanocomposite PMMA-MXene

In this paper, the influence of solvents and reinforcement processing methods on mechanical properties nanocomposite poly-(methyl methacrylate) PMMA-Ti3C2Tx MXene was investigated. A weight fraction 1% two types were used for sample preparation: dimethylformamide (DMF) acetone (Ac). Deionized water DMF to delaminate MXene. An additional peak at 1675 cm-1 observed FTIR spectra obtained samples, which indicates that some amount remained in material after drying. The results microindentation show samples where delaminated deionized PMMA dissolved had a 74.46% higher reduced modulus elasticity, is supported by SEM images better dispersion MXenes observed.
