TL;DR: This work provides a blueprint for the design of several highly porous composites made up of a metal-organic framework (MOF) template and redox active, polymeric building blocks and demonstrates that one such composite, Fe-BTC/PpPDA, is shown to rapidly extract trace amounts of gold from several complex water mixtures.

TL;DR: In this paper, a hybrid polymer/inorganic membrane with dual transport pathways is presented, where the inorganic phase consists of a metal-organic framework (MOF), which is an ideal inorganic dispersant to construct dual transport pathway as the crystalline porous structure of MOFs is more amenable to molecular diffusion than polymers.

TL;DR: A general structur-ing method is developed for preparing MOF-polymer composite beads based on an easy polymerization strategy that adopts biocompatible, biodegradable polyacrylic acid (PAA) and sodium alginate monomers, which are cross-linked using Ca2+ ions.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of recent advances in the construction of MOF-polymer composites and their corresponding applications is briefly reviewed, highlighting the prominence of this newly emerging class of materials and demonstrate their potential in a variety of applications relevant to host-guest chemistry.
