Abstract Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) is a kind of potential construction material due to its low density and strong mechanical properties, but its weak alkali stability impedes its widespread use. MXene nanosheets' two-dimensional (2D) property makes them an attractive contender as a nanofiller for polymer-based composites. Here, a basalt fiber-reinforced polymer (BFRP) laminate with a matrix modified with MXene nanosheets was made using a vacuum-assisted resin-transfer molding (VaRTM) process.
