METAL-ORGANIC FRAMEWORKS (MOFs): MECHANOCHEMICAL SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION AND MOF-TEXTILE COMPOSITE APPLICATIONS - A REVIEW

Abstract

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a group of porous materials formed by the assemblage of inorganic connectors and organic linkers. The topological properties that predict the physiochemical properties of MOFs can be affected by the synthetic method. This review article focuses on the: Mechanochemical synthesis of MOFs, characterization with respect to imparted properties of MOF on textile, and the applications of MOF-textile composite. The review will help bring to light the mechanochemical synthesis of MOFs as an efficient and environmentally friendly, characterization with respect to imparted properties of MOFs on textile with an excellent opportunity to extend the applications landscape of MOFs, and MOF-textile composite applications such as UV protections, antibacterial coating, protective warfare agent clothing, among others.
