Abstract:
Silver nanoparticle-decorated multilayered titanium carbide MXene (Ag/Ti3C2T) itself is capable of initiating the polymerization of a variety of acrylic monomers, due to it being able to generate hydroxyl radicals via the pseudo-Fenton reaction. Furthermore, double-network hydrogel Ag/Ti3C2T@gelatin/PAAm is synthesized by a one-pot procedure and displays a good near-infrared light-triggered shape-memory performance.
