METAL ORGANIC FRAMEWORK POLYMER MIXED MATRIX MEMBRANES

摘要

Metal-organic framework (MOF)-polymer mixed matrix membranes (MOF-MMMs) can be prepared by dispersing high surface area MOFs into a polymer matrix. The MOFs allow the polymer to infiltrate the pores of the MOFs, which improves the interfacial and mechanical properties of the polymer and in turn affects permeability. These mixed matrix membranes are attractive candidates for practical gas separation applications such as CO2 removal from natural gas.
