Cover Story: MXenes, a large group of two-dimensional transition metal carbides and nitrides, possess hydrophilic surfaces, high electrical conductivity, and outstanding mechanical properties. Titanium carbide (Ti₃C₂T_x) MXene with metallic conductivity can be used to coat insulating glass fibers, providing a uniform coating made of flakes with nanometer thickness and lateral dimensions of a few micrometers. Plasma treatment of the glass fibers facilitates the adhesion of MXene flakes, and the fibers become conductive after coating. MXene-coated glass fibers can be used in the development of damage-sensing polymer–matrix composites with a strong fiber–matrix interface. View this paper
