MXene-Infused Conductive Nano-Polymers for Edge-Computing Enabled Flexible Environmental Monitoring DevicesBy I Vijay Arasu, Alokita Kashyap, D.Shanthi, N. Saikumari, DVSSSV Prasad, Paul Theophilus Rajakumar I, Santhanakrishnan M, Kirubakaran D, Chitra Devi D
Abstract: MXene-infused conductive polymer composites have emerged as highly promising materials for next-generation flexible environmental monitoring devices because they combine electrical conductivity, mechanical flexibility, analyte sensitivity, and compatibility with low-power electronics. In this work, a Ti₃C₂Tₓ MXene–TPU/PVA conductive nano-polymer composite was developed as a multifunctional sensing platform for edge-computing enabled environmental monitoring. The composite was fabricated by dispersing MXene nanosheets into a thermoplastic polyurethane/poly(vinyl alcohol) (TPU/PVA) matrix, coating the conductive precursor …

Engineered Hybrid Nanoclay-Infused Nano-Polymers for Multifunctional Anti-Corrosive CoatingsBy V. Velmurugan, Dhivakar Poosapadi, K. P. S. Parmar, S Arun Kumar, S.Parameswari, L Ranganathan, Kirubakaran D, Akash Deep Kushwaha, S.Dhivya
Abstract: Polymer nanocomposites reinforced with layered nanofillers have emerged as an effective route to enhance structural stability in protective coating applications. Polymer–clay nanocomposites also provide a promising route to enhance mechanical robustness and environmental durability in coating systems. In this study, a hybrid epoxy–polyurethane (EPU) coating was reinforced using organo-modified montmorillonite (o-MMT) and layered double hydroxide intercalated with 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (LDH–MBT). Uniform dispersion and interfacial anchoring between the nanoclays and polymer chains …
