Abstract
This invited Team Profile was created by the MacLachlan group at the University of British Columbia. They recently published an article on the uniform growth of a metal-organic framework, ZIF-8, on the surface of individual cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs). After the ZIF-8/CNC fibers had been coated with a microporous organic polymer, the ZIF-8 was removed to leave a microporous polymer with CNCs encapsulated in a ship-in-a-bottle architecture. This material proved to be effective for CO2 fixation. "Uniform Growth of Nanocrystalline ZIF-8 on Cellulose Nanocrystals: Useful Template for Microporous Organic Polymers", K. Cho, L. J. Andrew, M.
