MXene on Textile Substrates: A Review

MXenes have emerged as a promising 2D material on account of their diverse properties and applications, especially in portable, wearable, and flexible smart textiles. This review presents the different properties of MXene, the development of electroconductive MXene-based fibers, different types of MXene-based fibers, and fabrics suitable for treatment with MXene. Interactions of natural and man-made fibers with MXenes have been presented. Functional fibers have been incorporated into textiles, promoting the creation of strain sensors, pressure sensors, antennas, and heaters. Textiles with wearable multifunctional properties, such as humidity sensors, actuators, and electromagnetic interference shielding, are very promising for use in MXene-based intelligent garments. Textiles with wearable multifunctional properties are very promising for use in MXene-based intelligent garments. Preparations of MXene-based electroconductive textiles have been elaborated. Different types of fibers both natural and synthetic when interacted with MXene exhibit extraordinary results. The commercialization of different MXene nanocomposites and manufacturing of commercially accessible MXene-based fabrics will be dependent on this research.image (c) 2024 WILEY-VCH GmbH
