Polyaniline/Ti₃C₂ MXene Composites with Artificial 3D Biomimetic Surface Structure of Natural Macaw Feather Applied for Anticorrosion Coatings.

ABSTRACT: In this paper, a series of polyaniline (PANI)/Ti₃C₂ MXene composites (PMCs) with a biomimetic structure were prepared and employed as an anticorrosion coating application. First, the PANI was synthesized by oxidative polymerization with ammonium persulfate as the oxidant. Then, 2D Ti₃C₂ MXene nanosheets were prepared by treating the Ti₃AlC₂ using the optimized minimally intensive layer delamination (MILD) method, followed by characterization via XRD and SEM. Subsequently, the PMC was prepared by the oxidative polymerization of aniline monomers in the presence of Ti₃C₂ MXene nanosheets, followed by characterization via FTIR, XRD, SEM, TEM, CV, and UV-Visible. Eventually, the PMC coatings with the artific
