Carbon-Ukraine supplies MAX phase powders and MXenes for research, and laboratory etching reactors for MXene synthesis. We are the official MXene licensed partner of Drexel University, USA, the inventor of these materials, and have synthesized MAX phases and MXenes for more than 300 universities, research laboratories and companies.
MAX phases
15 compositions for MXene synthesis — Ti3AlC2, V2AlC, Nb2AlC, Mo2Ti2AlC3 and more — as powders ≤ 200, ≤ 100 or ≤ 40 µm, bulk material and targets.
MXenes
Ti3C2, V2C, Nb2C, Mo2Ti2C3 and seven more MXenes as paste, colloidal solution, powder, films and discs, in water or organic solvents.
From precursor to MXene
We cover the full cycle: synthesis of the MAX phase precursor, etching in reactors of our own design and delamination into the form you need. Controlling the precursor is what keeps MXene properties repeatable from batch to batch.
We take part in international research projects — Horizon 2020, US DoE and others — and are open to R&D cooperation with academic and industrial partners.
Etching reactor for MXene synthesis
Our Ukrainian partner, Materials Research Centre (MRC), manufactures laboratory etching reactors for MXene synthesis. See Etching Reactor for MXene Synthesis.
