Enhanced mechanical properties of a metal–organic framework by polymer insertion

Abstract

The mechanical properties of a metal–organic framework were highly improved by the insertion of polymer chains into the nanochannels.

Pillared-layered metal–organic frameworks for mechanical energy storage applications

“…So far the response of this MOF upon mechanical pressure has barely been investigated. 5,[55][56][57] Therefore, we want to further explore the potential of these highly tailorable frameworks for mechanical energy storage. To this end, we examined the pressure-induced exibility of empty DMOF-1(Zn) and DMOF-1(Cu) through a combination of theoretical and experimental techniques.…”

Postsynthetic‐Modified PANI/MOF Composites with Tunable Thermoelectric and Photoelectric Properties

“…Maintaining porosity without disturbing the conductivity of MOFs has become another challenging task. Recently, some studies revealed that the incorporation of polymer guests into the host framework could prevent the pores from collapsing [42–44] . Considering the stability and conductivity of the MOFs, doped PANI attracted our attention.…”

Controlling the alignment of 1D nanochannel arrays in oriented metal–organic framework films for host–guest materials design

“…12 MOFs composed of 1D pore structures (nanochannels) are excellent candidates for aligning guest molecules; indeed, incorporating molecules within their pore networks has been shown to enhance the mechanical, electrical and optical properties of the frameworks. [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] Examples of MOFs that possess 1D nanochannels, crystallographically oriented along the c axis, include pillarlayered M 2 (linker) 2 DABCO MOFs (linker: 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate (BDC), 1,4-naphthalenedicarboxylate (1,4-NDC), 2,6naphthalenedicarboxylate (2,6-NDC), and 4,4 0 -biphenyldicarboxylate (BPDC); DABCO: 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane, M ¼ Cu, Zn) ( Fig. 1a).…”
