Progress in antibacterial research of polymer-based MOFs composites
Metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)are a class of emerging materials that have attracted much attention,and have a wide range of applications in the field of antimicrobials.Polymer-based MOFs(PolyMOFs)composites prepared from polymers and MOFs can not only enhance the stability and mechanical strength of MOFs,but also further expand their applications.Here,the research progress of polyMOFs composites in antimicrobial aspects was reviewed,including the preparation of functional MOFs materials,the main antimicrobial mechanisms and the preparation methods of polymerMOFs composites.The antimicrobial applications of polyMOFs composites in the fields of medical and health care,food preservation,air purification,water pollution control,and textile protection were then summarized.Finally,the current challenges faced by polyMOFs composites with antibacerial function and the future development direction including specific function enhancement,preparation process optimization and application expansion were prospected.
