Solvothermal Synthesis of MIL-96 and UiO-66-NH2 on Atomic Layer Deposited Metal Oxide Coatings on Fiber Mats

This method can help answer key questions in the field of metal organic frameworks such as the nature of surface nucleation and MOF adhesion. The main advantage of this technique is that it produces MOF films on fabric during the MOF synthesis rather than requiring additional processing steps to adhere MOF to the fiber. Demonstrating the procedure will be Dennis Lee, a grad student from my laboratory.

First, place a PA-6 fabric sample in a reactor boat. Open the pressure gauge of the ALD reactor and remove the clasp from the reactor cap. Next, turn on manual control in the lab view system.
