MXenes and their composites as corrosion prevention

Abstract

MXene, an advanced metal-based 2D ceramic material family, has had a sig- nificant impact in the field of corrosion prevention due to its unique physicochemical properties. Due to the need for further advancement and improvement in MXene ma- terials, studies have turned to the manufacture of composites that help strengthen MXene composites in terms of their properties and applications in various fields. MXenes have excellent filling properties. Anticorrosive application of MXene-filled polymer coatings has been extensively reported. Although modified graphene oxide is widely used as a filler in boron nitride and epoxy-based coatings, its applications as filler in other polymers with new properties are needed. This chapter focuses on MXenes as corrosion inhibitors, the properties of their composites and their applica- tion in industry.
