Control of metal-organic framework (MOF) crystal alignment and orientation by electric field (2020)
Thesis
Hall, C. H. (2020). Control of metal-organic framework (MOF) crystal alignment and orientation by electric field. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4223266

Due to most Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) possessing anisotropic properties, it could prove extremely useful to control and manipulate their alignment and orientation. Such control of MOF crystal microrods has previously been demonstrated by use of... Read More about Control of metal-organic framework (MOF) crystal alignment and orientation by electric field.
