Abstract:The industry desires to create robust, resilient, thermally stable, and environmentally friendly composites. In this study, we created a poly (lactic acid) (PLA) composite via a straightforward method. The Ti3C2TX was surface‐coated with polydopamine (PDA) via a bioinspired approach and was then reinforced in the PLA using melt blending. The PDA layer adorned on the Ti3C2TX provided several functional groups for the MXene nanosheets and strengthened the PLA‐MXene interaction by hydrogen bonding. The well‐dispe… Show more
