  • Metal organic framework modified materials, methods of making and methods of using same
    Patent number: 9186651
    Abstract: MOF (metal organic framework)-modified materials and methods of making and methods of using same. The MOFs are covalently bound to the materials. Examples of suitable materials include fibers and thin films. The MOF-modified materials can be made by forming MOFs in situ such that they are covalently bound to the materials. The MOF-modified materials can be used in methods where gases and/or toxic chemicals are absorbed.
