MXene Yarn
MXenes are a new family of two-dimensional (2D) transition metal carbides,
carbonitrides and nitrides that were discovered and developed by Professors
Michel Barsoum
and
Yury Gogotsi
in Drexel University’s Department of Materials Science and Engineering.
MXenes have many potential applications including energy storage systems,
electromagnetic interference shielding, and water purification. CFF aims to
incorporate MXene into yarn to be used in functional fabrics and smart
textile devices. Contact us at
