Titanium diboride-derived nanosheets enhance the mechanical properties of polyurethane: experiments and simulation
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: nanosheets are not only able to distribute the load effectively, but they also promote isotropic mechanical behaviour, which makes the composite stiff and strong. These insights are supplemented by inferences from the hydrogen bonding index (HBI) and degree of phase separation (DPS). This study exemplifies the rich prospects offered by the metal diboride-derived nanosheets for reinforcing polymer matrices.
