Yiziphi izinto ze-Mxene? Imiphi imisebenzi yayo?

Onjiniyela eDrexel University bathuthukise indwangu ehlanganisiwe neyohlobene ebizwa nge-Mxene. I-Mxene Coating entsha iyinto enezinto ezihlangene ezimbili ezisebenza ngogesi, ikhonjiswe ukuthi isebenza kahle kakhulu ekuvinjelweni kwamagagasi we-electromagnetic kanye nemisebe eyingozi, futhi ingafakwa izembatho nezinye izesekeli. Njengabakhiqizi bafaka ubuchwepheshe obuzwayo nobuchwepheshe bezokuxhumana ku-Smart Facrics, isidingo sezindwangu ezivimba amagagasi e-electromagnetic ziyanda. Abaphenyi bakholelwa ukuthi indwangu ehlanganisiwe ne-Mxene yenzelwe ukuvikela ukulandelwa kwensiza nokugenca, ngenkathi ivikela abantu emisebeni emikhulu ye-microwave.
Izingubo ezigqokwa nazo zingadinga ukuvimba uhlobo lokuphazanyiswa kwe-electromagnetic kuvame ukwenziwa amadivayisi eselula afana nama-Smartphones. Nge-coating entsha, lolu hlobo lokuvikelwa lungahlanganiswa ndawonye njengengxenye yezingubo. Ososayensi bekudala ukuthi i-Mxene ingavikela ukuphazanyiswa kwe-electromagnete kungcono kunezinye izinto, ukuthi ingahlanganiswa ngezindwangu, nokuthi igcina amakhono ayo okuvikela ahlukile.

Abaphenyi bakhombisa ukuthi i-Mxene ingayenziwa ngokuqinile ezitsheni zokufafaza, ama-inks noma upende, ukuvumela ukuthi kusetshenziswe izindwangu ngenkathi ungeza isisindo esincane futhi ungathathi isikhala esengeziwe. Ucwaningo lukhombisile ukuthi uma ukotini noma ilineni elijwayelekile kufakwe kwikhambi le-MNEne, kungavimba ukuphazanyiswa kwe-electromagnetic ngomphumela omkhulu kuno-99.9%.

Amashidi ama-Mxene amiswe ngokusobala ngokunamathela ngokwemvelo alandele imicu yekotini yendabuko kanye nezindwangu zelineni ngenxa yokukhokhiswa kukagesi. Abaphenyi babika ukuthi leli cala likhipha umdwebo ophelele futhi ohlala isikhathi eside ongadingi noma yiziphi izinqubo zangaphambi kokwelashwa noma ukwelashwa kwangaphambi kokwelashwa ukukhiqiza izindwangu eziqhutshwa kakhulu ezentengiselwano nezindwangu. Ngemuva kweminyaka emibili yokugcina izitoreji ngaphansi kwezimo ezijwayelekile, izindwangu zihlanganiswe nale nqubo zilahlekelwa cishe yi-10% yokuvikela kwazo.
