Abstract
Epoxy resins are thermosets with interesting physicochemical properties for numerous
engineering applications, and considerable efforts have been made to improve their performance
by adding nanofillers to their formulations. MXenes are one of the most promising functional
materials to use as nanofillers. They have attracted great interest due to their high electrical and
thermal conductivity, hydrophilicity, high specific surface area and aspect ratio, and chemically active
surface, compatible with a wide range of polymers. The use of MXenes as nanofillers in epoxy
resins is incipient; nevertheless, the literature indicates a growing interest due to their good chemical
compatibility and outstanding properties as composites, which widen the potential applications of
epoxy resins. In this review, we report an overview of the recent progress in the development of
MXene/epoxy nanocomposites and the contribution of nanofillers to the enhancement of properties.
Particularly, their application for protective coatings (i.e., anticorrosive and friction and wear),
electromagnetic-interference shielding, and composites is discussed. Finally, a discussion of the
challenges in this topic is presented.
