Polymer-metal-organic framework self-assembly (PMOFSA) as a robust one-step method to generate well-dispersed hybrid nanoparticles in water.

ABSTRACT

A new process, PMOFSA, is described here, that opens the way for the one-pot straightforward and versatile manufacture of polymer-MOF nanoparticles in water. It can be expected that this study will not only expand the scope of in situ preparation of polymer-MOF nano-objects but also inspire researchers in the field to prepare a new generation of polymer-MOF hybrid materials.
