Engineered Interpenetrating MXene Networks in Aramid Layered Films for Antioxidant and Broadband Electromagnetic Interference Shielding

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 18, 27 March 2026.
This study introduces an innovative interpenetrating layered structure, comprising alternating aramid nanofiber (ANF) layers and MXene layers, fabricated through a directional freeze–thaw intercalation–gel‐film formation strategy. Unlike traditional homogeneous layered films, this unique layered structure features mutually embedded conductive and ...
