Abstrakt: Polymer substrates have been functionalized with a MOF material (MIL-47) synthesized directly on polyacrylonitrile using in situ microwave irradiation. The growth of MIL-47 on these substrates was studied as a function of microwave irradiation time using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The conversion of nitrile to carboxylic acid groups on the PAN surface was necessary for the growth of MIL-47 on the substrate. MIL-47 crystals grew over time at the expense of a related disordered precursor phase, which lacks the long-range order of MIL-47. This work paves the way for the development of a new class of hybrid MOF-polymer materials that will extend the applications of MOFs to fields such as membrane separations, filtration, and protective textiles.
