Abstract:Recently, MXene has been identified as a novel reinforcing material for elastomers. Also, the free radical scavenging ability of MXene can be used to improve the antiaging properties of unsaturated elastomers, such as natural rubber (NR). In this study, Ti3C2Tx MXene is incorporated into NR at 0‐0.8 wt% to investigate the mechanical and antiaging properties of NR/MXene nanocomposites (NRMX). The resultant nanocomposites with increasing MXene content show improved tensile properties and storage modulus due to t… Show more
