AB  - Recently, MXene, as a novel graphene-like nanomaterial, has been found to bestow 
      good flame-retardant and smoke-suppression properties to polymers mainly due to 
      the physical barrier effect of its 2D nanosheets. However, a comprehensive 
      investigation of its chemical components as an important factor for these 
      properties has not been conducted to date. To address this issue, herein, MXene 
      (Ti(3)C(2)T(x)) and MAX (Ti(3)AlC(2)) were introduced into unsaturated polyester 
      resin (UPR) at same amounts (2.0 wt%). Their structures are different (multilayer 
      for MXene and bulk for MAX), but the chemical components are similar; therefore, 
      it is important to study the influence of the chemical components of MXene on the 
      fire-safety properties of polymers. In this study, 2 wt% MAX was added to the 
      UPR, and the peak heat release rate (PHRR), the total smoke production (TSP), and 
      carbon monoxide production (COP) of the resulting material were reduced by 
      11.04%, 19.08%, and 15.79%, respectively; these findings demonstrate the 
      important role of the chemical components of MAX: Ti exerts a catalytic 
      attenuation effect on the UPR nanocomposites during combustion. Moreover, a 
      better fire-safety property of the MXene/UPR nanocomposites (reduction of PHRR by 
      29.56%, TSP by 25.26%, and COP by 31.58%) than that of the MAX/UPR nanocomposites 
      was achieved, which was due to the physical barrier effect of the MXene 
      nanosheets. This study verifies that in addition to the physical barrier effect, 
      the chemical components play a very important role in the fire safety enhancement 
      of MXene-based nanocomposites.
