The resulting novel MOF/polymer composite is characterised by a combination of X-ray diffraction, thermal analysis techniques and spectroscopic methods. Proof-of-concept for the formation of a ...

Researchers treated a MOF, known as Fe-BTC, with dopamine, which polymerized to polydopamine (PDA) pinning the polymer inside the MOF. The final composite, named Fe-BTC/PDA, can quickly and ...

A research team led by Paolo Falcaro has developed a microporous crystal compound that signals whether protein-rich foods are spoilt. The ERC grant is now being used to explore practical applications.
