NANO2DAY project participants from the Materials Research Center (MRC), Kiev, Ukraine, Alexey Gogotsi (MRC project leader) and Veronika Zahorodna (early-staged researcher, in the framework of international scientific cooperation on the Horizon 2020 program, visited the partner organization Drexel University, Philadelphia, USA, on September-October 2018 in accordance with the travel plan on the project to perform planned project activities.
MRC project participants worked closely with researchers from Drexel University, studied the latest developments of colleagues from the Institute of Nanomaterials University Drexel (under the guidance of Professor Yury Gogotsi) in synthesis of two-dimensional nanomaterials MXenes, their processing and practical applications for different purposes. Participants from MRC together with researchers from Drexel synthesized MXenes for the NANO2DAY project needs and further research.

NANO2DAY project participants from Materials Research Centre, Kiev, Ukraine, MRC director and project leader Oleksiy Gogotsi and ESR Veronika Zahorodna are working in Polymer Institute, Slovak Academy of Sciences, Bratislava, Slovakia under the project secondments plan. MRC project participants work in close cooperation with researchers from Polymer Institute, share their experience in two-dimesional nanomaterials (MXene) synthesis and take over the experience and study the developments of colleagues on polymers and composite materials.
Here we demonstrate a new developed method for depositing Ti3C2Tx MXenes onto hydrophobic electrospun PCL membranes using oxygen plasma treatment. These novel patches hold tremendous potential for providing mechanical support to damaged heart tissue and enabling electrical signal transmission,thereby mimicking the crucial electroconductivity required for normal cardiac function. After a detailed investigation of scaffold-to-cell interplay, including electrical stimulation, novel technology has the potential for clinical application not only for cardiac regeneration, but also as neural and muscular tissue substitutes.
