Abstract: In some embodiments, a metal-organic framework material includes tricarboxylate metal-organic frameworks. The tricarboxylate metal-organic frameworks include unmodified tricarboxylate ligands and modified tricarboxylate ligands. The modified tricarboxylate ligands are unmodified tricarboxylate ligand modified with aliphatic carbon chains. Methods of forming metal-organic framework materials and textiles containing modified metal-organic framework materials are also provided.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to covalent network polymers prepared from an imine-linked oligomer and an independent crosslinker comprising reactive moieties selected from the group consisting of epoxy, isocyanate, bismaleimide, sulfide, polyurethane, anhydride, polyester and combinations thereof. The covalent network polymers disclosed herein are advantageously made by anhydrous reactions, which enables the highest known glass transition temperatures to date for this class of materials. Further, the disclosed covalent network polymers can be formed in continuous processes, such as additive manufacturing processes that produce three-dimensional objects or roll-to-roll processes that produce covalent network polymer films or fully cured prepreg in various size formats.

Abstract: Covalent network polymers that include one or more of a cure rate modifying (CRM) additive, a tack modifying additive, a flame retardant additive, a physical additive, and a viscosity modifying additive allow the viscosity, pot life, tackiness and safety of chemical mixtures and products to be tailored without sacrificing the mechanical properties or reprocessability of the final vitrimers. Use of additives also enables previously infeasible manufacturing techniques.
