  • METAL ORGANIC FRAMEWORK POLYTETRAFLUOROETHYLENE COMPOSITE STRUCTURE AND METHOD OF MAKING THE SAME
    Publication number: 20240207791
    Abstract: A method of producing a structured MOF composite tape by immobilizing metal chalcogenide particles into a polymer matrix, and then converting the metal chalcogenide into MOF in-situ. In some embodiments, the conversion is from ZnO-PTFE composite to ZIF-8-PTFE composite. ZIF-8-PTFE composite is a useful material for propylene/propane separation, oil capture, and photocatalytic killing against airborne bacteria. Besides ZIF-8, a structured MOF composite tape is a useful material for chemical separation including but not limited to chemical purification, air purification, and removal of biological toxicants. Additionally, a composite article which includes the MOFs may be in the form of a filter bag, a honeycomb, a column, or other suitable forms.
