We demonstrated that interactions between MXene surfaces and polymer chains promote preferential molecular alignment and anisotropic crystallisation of the polymers\u2019 electroactive \u03b2-phase, which is essential for efficient conversion of mechanical deformation into electrical signals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Remarkably, an optimised MXene concentration of only 0.0015 wt% resulted in substantially improved mechanical deformability, increasing the elongation at break from approximately 60% for pristine polymer films to 192% for the nanocomposite. The films also exhibited enhanced dielectric properties (permittivity of \uf0bb22) and a piezoelectric coefficient d\u2083\u2083 reaching 24 pC\/N after 50% tensile elongation, while maintaining structural integrity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Publication: V.
