MXene-Functionalized Light-Induced Antimicrobial and Waterproof Polyacrylate Coating for Cementitious Materials Protection.

ABSTRACT: The penetration of external stimuli (microorganisms, ions, etc.) following to the pore is the key reason for the deterioration of cement and concrete structures. Although the traditional methods such as improving the chemical composition of cement and concrete materials can delay the erosion rate, the inevitable pore structure still makes its deterioration a challenge. Based on this, we reported a protective coating for cementitious materials based on phenol and Ti₃C₂ MXene-modified polyacrylate (MXene-PG/PA). The introduction of phenols enhanced the waterproof properties of polyacrylate by increasing the interaction among molecular chains. Moreover, the introduction of Ti₃C₂ MXene also endows the MXene-PG/PA coating with good light-induced antim
