Synthesis of resilient hybrid hydrogels using UiO-66 MOFs and alginate (hydroMOFs) and their effect on mechanical and matter transport properties

Advances in metal–organic framework-based hydrogel materials: preparation, properties and applications

“…On this basis, the research group also synthesized MOF hydrogel materials using a modified UiO-66 MOF through solvent-assisted ligand incorporation (UiO-66AA). 262 The MOF-based hydrogels exhibited higher water absorption capacity and stronger mechanical properties than pure hydrogels, depending on the amount and the crystal size of the UiO-66AA MOF used. The team's research provides a novel idea for designing organic–inorganic hybrid hydrogels.…”

Biomedically-relevant metal organic framework-hydrogel composites

“…Thus, it is key that the MOFhydrogel is biocompatible and degradable. In many cases, natural polymers are utilised including cellulose and alginate 56,103 . Alternatively, other biocompatible polymers such as PEG or PLGA can also be used 54 .…”

“…In many cases, natural polymers are utilised including cellulose and alginate. 56,60 Alternatively, other biocompatible polymers such as PEG or PLGA can also be used. 54 Hydrogels have high water content and mimic living tissues well 27 – making them excellent candidates to serve as reservoirs for drug delivery.…”

Prospects of microbial polysaccharides‐based hybrid constructs for biomimicking applications

“…Small crystals or small quantity of big sized crystals are used to remove the release rate of drugs from hydro‐MOFs, so these are important in varying half‐life behavior of discharge rate of drugs. The cytotoxicity screening proves that hydro‐MOFs are favorable biocompatible complexes used to remove mechanical robustness and burst release [64]. When a light absorbent semiconductor is combined with biocatalysts (e.g., enzymes), the capabilities of both parts can be combined to produce adjustable and efficient light‐driven biochemical processes.…”
