I'm getting exhausted and losing hope to walk forward about my studies and research. I'm majoring in Aerospace Science and My Study area is Developing Materials for Aerospace Engineering. I am lost and giving up !
First of all, developing materials for aerospace industry requires years of work and millions of euros. What is your goal with this work? What materials are you working with, metals or composites? Are you working with any aerospace company?
Ah, "MXenes" - for the wider readership, these are 2D layered inorganic molecular structures - they have a variety of interesting properties.
The titanium-carbides appear to be useful metal-like IR-reflectors, perhaps useful for emissivity control on spacecraft.
The synthesis of such compounds, though, appears to be rather uncoupled from their final application. That might be a tricky point to address meaningfully. A synthesis path for an industrial sensor substrate is the same as one for a sensor destined for space - broadly.
I agree with Dr James Garry , because your question is a huge topic - and it would help to know whether you are;
The following topics that Dr James Garry wrote, is very objective.
Asking the permission to Dr James Garry , his brilliant text is rewritten here.
They are excellent a. you should choose one path at lest:
a) trying to make/study materials in one specific field (say, high strength, low thermal conductivity materials for heat shields, thermal barrier coatings, plasma spraying, laser processing of materilas)
or
b) trying to make a synthesis of the state of the art *overall*, listing references (Mendlay systemcan help your work) and place that in the context of materials for terrestrial applications.
