Abstract

Abstract: Ti3 C2 Tx, a typical MXene, was incorporated into alumina (Al2 O3 ) to obtain ceramic composites and its effects on their microstructures and mechanical properties were investigated. The investigation results showed that MXene was well-dispersed in the ceramic matrix and significantly reinforced alumina. At 2 wt% Ti3 C2 Tx, the fracture toughness, bending strength and hardness was improved by ~300%, ~150%, ~300%, respectively. The toughening mechanisms associated with crack deflection induced by Ti3 C2 Tx were discussed.
