| Abstract: | Two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides exhibit excellent thermal, mechanical, and electrical properties, and MXene displays good advantages in improving the mechanical properties of composites. In this study, the injection molding method is employed to introduce d-Ti3C2Tx MXene into the polyamide 66 matrix, yielding a d-Ti3C2Tx/PA66 nanocomposite. The tensile strength, flexural strength, Young's modulus, and hardness of d-Ti3C2Tx/PA66 nanocomposites are higher than that of pure PA66, owing to the high strength of the d-Ti3C2Tx nanosheets, good interfacial bonding, and stress transfer between the PA66 matrix and d-Ti3C2Tx nanofiller. TGA and DMA results revealed that the addition of d-Ti3C2Tx into the PA66 matrix improves the Tg, Es, creep resistance, and recovery properties, as well as the thermal stability of PA66 in an oxidizing atmosphere. |
