Abstract:Mechanically robust and tough polymeric materials are in high demand for applications ranging from flexible electronics to aerospace. However, achieving both high toughness and strength in polymers remains a significant challenge due to their inherently contradictory nature. Here, a universal strategy for enhancing the toughness and strength of polymer blends using ligand‐modulated metal–organic framework (MOF) nanoparticles is presented, which are engineered to have adjustable hydrophilicity and lipophilicity… Show more
