Dr. Vadym Mochalin, associate professor of chemistry, and Dr. Chenglin Wu, assistant professor of civil, architectural and environmental engineering, study mechanical properties of 2-D transition metal carbides (MXenes) and other 2-D materials.
Their most recent results on in-situ tensile testing of these materials are reported in a paper titled “In Situ SEM Tensile Testing of Two-Dimensional Ti2C and Ti3C2 Titanium Carbide Films (MXenes),” recently accepted for publication in ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces.
