Polymers and metal-organic frameworks represent two classes of most chemically and structurally diverse materials. Combining them in a hierarchical order will lead to a library of new functional composite materials with emerging properties. Recently, we developed a universal approach to constructing MOF@polymer architecture through controlled radical polymerization. We demonstrated that this approach does not require a pre-functionalized MOF surface, therefore, can be applied to a wide range of MOF materials. Continuing this theme, a series of MOF@polymer functional composite materials were successfully fabricated. In this talk, we will present our effort on how to fine tune a series of physical and chemical properties of MOFs, including mass transfer behavior, interparticle friction, self-assembly behavior and the chemical stability of MOF particles, through rational design of MOF@polymer architectures.
