Effect of MXene on structure and performance of silicone rubber thermal protection composites
Ti2C3Tx MXene was introduced into the ablative resistant silicone rubber composite.The effect of MXene on the vulcanization properties,mechanical properties,thermal loss,ablation properties,and ablation layer structure of composite materials was investigated.The results showed that the dispersion of the components in the composites was significantly improved at the low MXene content.The tensile strength and elongation at break were greatly increased.After high-temperature ablation,the adhesion between the fiber skeleton and the ablation layer was enhanced,and the ablation layer was dense,leading to the good ablation resistance.
