Boosted Chemical Protective Properties Using Interface Constructed between Ti₃C₂T_x MXene and Natural Rubber.

ABSTRACT: Rubbers are extensively applied in chemical protective clothing (CPC) due to their eye-catching anti-penetration of chemicals. However, their impermeability, particularly that of natural rubber (NR), is unsatisfactory. In this work, we demonstrate the facile construction of Ti₃C₂T_x MXene/NR interface using a plant-scale and feasible method combining latex mixing, emulsion flocculation, and flat-plate vulcanisation. The above crafts achieved a homogeneous dispersion of Ti₃C₂T_x MXene in the NR matrix in a single layer, thereby constructing a strong interfacial interaction between Ti₃C₂T_x MXene and NR, which induced the formation of a robust three-dimensional (3D) network in the composite.
