Abstract Nowadays, it is still a huge challenge to predict the interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) of three‐phase carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP). Herein, micromechanical model innovatively constructed ILSS CFRP, and conception new matrix proposed by establishing connection between third phase matrix, which effectively solves problem uneven distribution phase. To verify accuracy model, Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene/CFf/epoxy composites were fabricated co‐blending, layer‐by‐layer assembly hot‐pressing technology, finite element simulation analysis was also performed based on model. The results show that possesses high accuracy. Specifically, experimental value composite with 1 wt% MXene content 52.12 MPa, errors (56.64 MPa) theoretical prediction (58.69 are 8.67% 12.61% respectively. Besides, detailed fracture mechanism presented morphology results. It believed this work will provide more possibilities for performance composites.
