Hybridization of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and polymers into composites yields materials that displaythe exceptional properties of MOFs with the robustness of polymers.H owever,t he realization of MOF-polymer composites requires efficient dispersion and interactions of MOF particles with polymer matrices,which remains asignificant challenge.Herein, we report asimple,scalable,bench-top approach to covalently tethered nylon-MOF polymer composite materials through an interfacial polymerization technique. The copolymerization of am odified UiO-66-NH 2 MOF with ag rowing polyamide fiber (PA-66) during an interfacial polymerization gave hybrid materials with up to around 29 weight percent MOF.T he covalent hybrid material demonstrated nearly an order of magnitude higher catalytic activity for the breakdown of achemical warfare simulant (dimethyl-4nitrophenyl phosphate,D MNP) compared to MOFs that are non-covalently,p hysically entrapped in nylon, thus highlighting the importance of MOF-polymer hybridization.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
