Light-Driven, Super-Fast Self-Healing Transparent MXene/W₁₈O₄₉/Polyurethane Films with Superior Toughness for Thermal Management.

ABSTRACT: Light-driven materials have attracted great interest for their promising applications in next-generation smart devices. The incorporation of various photothermal materials into polymers has been developed for endowing composites with the capability of light harvesting and photothermal conversion, and management. However, their opaque appearance, vulnerability, and challenging processability limit their practical applications. Herein, it is successfully synthesized a series of versatile transparent films (PUMW) that combine photothermal self-healing function and mechanical strength through integrating polyurethane (PU) self-healing polymers with plasmonic enhanced MXene and W₁₈O₄₉ hybrids (MXene@W₁₈O₄₉). The resulting comprehensive film (PUMW4) ma
