Sintering Metal–Organic Framework Gels for Application as Structural Adhesives (Small 25/2023)

Metal–Organic Frameworks The zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (ZIF-67) gel sintering technique provides a microstructure of densely aggregated, large spherical ZIF-67 crystals, resulting in bonding of Cu substrates with shear strength exceeding 30 MPa, comparable to that of conventional structural adhesives.
