Metal–organic frameworks/biopolymer nanocomposites: from fundamentals toward recent applications in modern technology

Abstract

Currently, due to economic importance and environmental characteristics, biopolymeric matrices containing metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are being extraordinarily considered in high-tech and commercial applications. In these materials, MOFs are usually incorporated into polymer chains and highly effective and multi-functional organic–inorganic composites are fabricated with high electrical, optical, mechanical, and thermal features. The excellent porous structure, flexibility, and organic–inorganic nature of MOFs are interesting properties for their examination in the fabrication of biopolymeric composites. Here, we provide a complete and vital review of MOF/biopolymeric composites in recent years and discuss their importance and features. Additionally, since bio–nanocomposite materials based on biodegradable polymers and MOFs have presented great potential in the past decade, in this review, we have critically concentrated on the most significant and interesting applications of MOF/biopolymeric composites and their advantages in modern technology.
