MOF‐Polymer Composite Microcapsules Derived from Pickering Emulsions. (4th April 2013) - Huo, Jia
Abstract Hollow composite microcapsules are prepared by the assembly of pre‐formed nanocrystals of metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) around emulsion droplets, followed by interfacial polymerisation of the interior. The micropores of the MOF crystals embedded within a semipermeable hierarchically structured polymeric membrane are an effective combination for the retention of encapsulated dye molecules. Release can be triggered however by acid dissolution of the MOF component.
