Accelerated Exploration of Metal-Organic Framework Polymer Interfaces
Abstract
This goal of this work is to establish a new paradigm for experimentally studying metal-organic framework (MOF)-polymer interfaces. While MOFs are widely regarded as promising for chemical agent mitigation due to their tunable chemistry and pore size, there still remain critical barriers due in large part to the vast and largely unexplored possible combinations of MOFs and polymer matrices. To overcome this barrier, the awardee will co-develop a new experimental method to rapidly measure MOF-polymer interfacial properties along with a data-driven framework for interpreting and guiding experiment. In addition to proving this new concept, this work is expected to produce basic knowledge related to the interactions between polymers and MOFs such as the kinetics and thermodynamics of polymer intercalation.
