Drexel University is helping to establish a global trade association for researchers, manufacturers and companies that are working with MXenes. Called the MXene Association, it will serve as the professional body to establish standards and best practices, connect researchers and corporations and promote the research and development involving the materials.
Drexel is a charter founding member of the Association and will be represented by Yury Gogotsi, PhD, Distinguished University and Bach professor in Drexel’s College of Engineering, who will serve as the Association’s chief scientific advisor.
Headed by Terrance Barkan, executive director of the Graphene Council, the MXene Association will be charged with supporting research, development and application of MXene materials through the dissemination of information, education and networking.
