Composites of Metal and Covalent Organic Frameworks: Fundamental Design & Applications
Abstract
We request funding for co-sponsorship of a symposium focused on the design and evaluation of hierarchical composite structures of Metal Organic Frameworks and Covalent Organic Frameworks with materials, namely, fibers, surfaces, metal oxides, activated carbons ... . The symposium will take place at the University of Granada 1n Granada, Spain in September 2017. We anticipate the symposium to run over two days, with speakers discussing a variety of topics spanning multiple disciplines within the materials science realm. A maximum of 100 attendees will be invited to keep operating costs minimal and such that the symposium can be held on the University of Granada campus. The overall goal of the symposium is to bring together researchers on the cutting edge of materials design from different backgrounds, but who share common goals of hierarchical structure development. Topics to be Covered The focus of the symposium will be multi-disciplinary, yet focused on the overarching theme of hierarchical composite development. This will entail multiple focus areas, as outlined below, ranging from fundamental growth mechanisms, to potential applications, to macroscopic shaping of systems. 1. Surface Growth. Understanding interfacial properties for optimal growth of heterogeneous structures on surfaces and films. Examples include MOF/fiber growth, layer-by-layer growth of MOFs, chemical vapor deposition strategies, metal oxide deposition on surfaces. 2. Mixed Matrix Membranes & Composites. Understanding methods for incorporating sorbents into other matrices, such as mixed matrix 11embranes. 3. MOF/MOF Interfaces. Understanding principles of growing multiple MOFs into one composite. Examples include core-shell type structures, layer-by-layer growth of different MOFs, hierarchical pore structure development, etc. 4. Structure/Activity & Evaluation Methods. Understanding how to evaluate hierarchical structures, probing activity and how that relates o structure of the material. 5. Computational Modeling. In silica design of materials with properties and applications a la carte. Modeling of adsorption and catalytic sites. 6. Potential Applications. A look at potential applications of hierarchical structures in separations, sensing, electronics, and other areas.
