Abstract This work describes a new strategy for fabricating mixed matrix composites containing layered metal-organic framework (MOF)/polymer films as new functional barriers for chemical warfare agent protection. Through the use of mechanically robust polymers as the top and bottom encasing layers, a high MOF loading, high performance core layer can be sandwiched within. We term this multifunctional composite “MOFwich”. We found that the use of elastomeric encasing layers enabled core layer reformation after breakage, an important implication for composites and membranes alike.

The incorporation of MOFs into the core layer led to

enhanced removal of chemical warfare agents while simultaneously promoting moisture vapor 1 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Over the past decade, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have become a leading class of porous materials for applications in separations,1 air purification,2 catalysis,3 and sensing.4 The ability to tune functionality and pore structure of MOFs allows for unprecedented control at the nanoscale,5 which has translated to exciting new properties at the macroscale.6 The development of successful MOF-based technologies not only depends on scaling-related issues, but also the ability to incorporate these highly active assemblies into industry-relevant engineered constructs such as granules and membranes.7, 8

One example of a mature technology, which is most similar to our composites that are described below, is mixed matrix membranes (MMMs). MMMs have previously been prepared using zeolites,9 metal oxides,10 and carbons11 as active fillers for applications in filtration and separations. MMMs also have been fabricated containing MOFs and have demonstrated unique reactive capabilities.7, 12, 13 Generally speaking, however, MMMs have been limited to low MOF mass loadings, as higher loadings result in catastrophic defects and brittleness.7, 14 Furthermore, MMMs containing MOFs have been limited to single component systems13 and therefore lack versatility and multifunctionality. The combination of tailorable MOFs with tunable polymers, and especially block copolymers, enables the optimization of composite materials for specific applications.15 Traditional MMMs are generally fabricated using one of two techniques: (1) a filler particle (e.g., carbon, zeolite, MOF, etc.) is mixed with a polymer and cast as a freestanding film, or (2) a polymer or inorganic phase is used to grow the MOF as a secondary layer (i.e., templated growth).16 The former method permits the use of a broad range of MOFs and polymer substrates, as well as provides the ability to scale up MOFs before membrane formation. The latter allows less versatility for the type of MOF used, but generally results in more conformal membranes. Most recent MMM research incorporating MOFs has focused on carbon 3 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

To date, one application that has not been investigated using MMMs and similar

composites is the reactive removal of chemical warfare agents (CWAs).

Recently, Cohen and coworkers utilized the underlying concept of MMMs to produce composites with significantly higher MOF loadings than traditional examples. These mixed matrix composites (MMCs) incorporated MOFs into single-layer freestanding films based on poly(vinylidene fluoride), (PVDF), as well as styrene/butadiene (SBS, SBR) copolymers.14, 20 In these cases, the main thrust was to investigate a new form factor for MOFs with a focus on high mass loadings. While the strategy was able to incorporate MOFs, the composites generally became fragile at appreciable MOF loadings.

Ideally, films should be developed that can accommodate high MOF loadings while maintaining structural stability. To overcome the above limitation, herein we present a method and several archetypes for preparing multifunctional composites using a high MOF-loaded, otherwise brittle, “active layer” sandwiched between low MOF-loaded flexible polymer “encasing layers” to stabilize the composite. Our method facilitates the tuning of functionality through the incorporation of multiple polymers, MOFs, and MOF loadings, with the novelty showcased through the ability to tune each parameter to meet specific application requirements. Such requirements include permeation and reaction rates, adsorption capacity, and moisture vapor transport rate (MVTR). As shown in Figure 1, a MOF/polymer film was cast using a draw-down coating method.20 Before the film completely dried, a second layer was drawn across the first layer. The solvent locally swelled or dissolved polymer chains, fusing the layers together, and the resulting layered structure could not be mechanically separated. This approach 4 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

was repeated any number of times using a broad range of compositions to create multilayered MMCs. For added robustness of composites, we focused primarily on rubbery (elastomeric) encasing polymers.

Fabricated composites were characterized using techniques including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and nitrogen adsorption. The performance of MMCs as barriers against CWAs and simulants was evaluated through permeation experiments, and the reactivity of various composites was monitored using

31

P magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS

NMR) spectroscopy. MVTR measurements were conducted to determine the permeability of each membrane to moisture. Composites also were characterized for other applications, such as sensors, using gas adsorption isotherms and electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Experimental details are provided in the supporting information.

Our multilayer approach was first demonstrated using a polystyrene-block-polyisoprene-blockpolystyrene (SIS) copolymer incorporating either HKUST-1 or UiO-66-NH2 MOFs in the encasing or active layers, with the middle (active layer) containing a higher MOF loading. SIS is a well-known elastomer that provides an excellent combination of strength and elasticity, and is readily processable. The two MOFs were chosen as they represent two of the most studied materials in the literature and also provide significant protection against toxic chemicals such as CWAs,21 ammonia,22 chlorine,23 and nitrogen dioxide.24 Furthermore, HKUST-1 and UiO-66NH2 are produced in sufficient quantities such that structure-activity-processing relationships can be readily studied at scales larger than typically available for most MOFs synthesized in subgram quantities.

These two initial systems are designated as SIS/UiO-66-NH2(20%) + 5 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

SIS/HKUST-1(67%) + SIS/UiO-66-NH2(20%), referred to as MOFwich 1 (M1), and SIS/HKUST-1(20%) + SIS/UiO-66-NH2(67%) + SIS/HKUST-1(20%) (M2). The details of these composites as well as a much wider array of configurations, chemistries, and constructs, are described in Table S1. The percentages represent the wt% MOF relative to polymer within each layer of the MOFwich. SEM and EDS images confirmed the delineation of each layer (Figure 2A, 2C, and S1) in the MMC. The low MOF-loaded outer layers formed protective borders around the high MOF- loaded layers, which otherwise cracked without the encasing layer.

Figure 1. (A) Rubbery polymers with low MOF loadings were used to encase polymers with high MOF loadings (B), which are otherwise brittle. The strategy for fabricating the multi-layer MOFwich is shown in (C). 1 - An encasing layer using a MMC with low MOF loading first was cast and allowed to partially dry. 2 - A second MMC, generally a polymer with high MOF loading, was introduced, and the solvent annealed the new layer to the first layer, resulting in a distinct, but mechanically robust, interface. This process produced dual-layer composites. 3 - For additional layers, the same process was repeated by adding an additional encasing layer to produce a multi-layer MOFwich. (D) An encasing layer was drawn over an active layer. Multiple examples of two- and three-layer MOFwiches are shown in Figure S1. Encasing layers generally included SIS (i) and polystyrene-block-poly(ethylene-ran-butylene)-blockpolystyrene, SEBS (ii), while active layers included SIS and SEBS as well as poly(ethylene oxide), PEO (iii), poly(methyl methacrylate), PMMA (iv), polystyrene, PS (v), and PVDF (vi). Scale bar = 5 cm.

To exhibit the versatility of the method, a two-layer approach also was used to create a MOFwich consisting of high MOF-loaded SEBS. viscoelastic, and strong.

Like SIS, SEBS is easily processed,

The resulting composite, SEBS/HKUST-1(50%) + SEBS/UiO-66-

NH2(50%), is referred to as M3. M3 exhibited a well-defined two-layer structure as shown in Figures 2B and 2D. Nitrogen uptake data are shown in Figure S2, and surface area calculations are shown in Table S2. Many of the MOFwiches had considerable surface area unlike other composites with relatively low MOF percentages;14 however, all layered MMCs had significantly lower surface area in comparison to the pristine MOFs. The relatively low surface area is typical of MMCs, for which nitrogen is unable to penetrate deeply into the composites unless high MOF loadings are used.14 We note that our MOFwiches are not true MMMs as surface defects may increase nitrogen access to the MOF and govern permeation behavior; yet, it is possible to seal an active layer with high MOF loading with a low (40 h). Permeation data for mustard challenged to M3 and latex are shown in Figures S4-S5, respectively.

Beyond the barrier properties of the MOFwich in

comparison to latex, the M3 composite exhibited a MVTR (Table S3) of 16 g/m2/h – an order of magnitude higher than latex. These data suggest that not only do these MMC provide enhanced CWA protection in comparison to latex, but they also do so with the ability to provide evaporative cooling, reducing sweat and decreasing the thermal burden to users of potential protective equipment comprised of M3. Although the MVTR value was lower than fiber-based systems, it was significantly higher than current protective barrier equipment. The presence of defects within the film interface actually enhanced these effects, as the CWA had better access to active sites of the MOF, while moisture was more easily transmitted through the composite.

In addition to excellent barrier properties and high MVTR, M3 preferentially adsorbed carbon dioxide (CO2) in comparison to other gases such as methane (CH4), nitrogen (N2), and oxygen (O2), as shown in Figure 2F. The composite provided an ideal CO2/N2 selectivity of 18.9, a 50% increase over materials made from ZIF-8 and SEBS.17 Details of the calculations are provided in the SI. Further enhancements may be realized by optimizing the amount and type of MOF as well as the type of polymer(s) used within the MOFwich. The ability of M3 to sense toxic gases also was explored using EIS. After exposure to chlorine the impedance decreased by six orders of magnitude (Figure S6) stemming from the underlying reactivity of UiO-66-NH2 with chlorine.23

Next, we cast a bifunctional MOF/metal oxide composite comprised of UiO-66-NH2 and zirconium hydroxide [Zr(OH)4], M4, for the purpose of a dual-action G-series and V-series nerve agent barrier. UiO-66-NH2 was chosen because of its reactivity towards the G-series nerve 8 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

agent soman,21 while Zr(OH)4 is the fastest known solid catalyst for VX detoxification.27 The MOF and Zr(OH)4 were layered using SEBS at 50 wt% particle loading. The efficacy of M4 was evaluated by dropping neat liquid agents onto the composite and measuring degradation rates via 31P MAS NMR spectroscopy. NMR data along with optical and SEM images of M4 are shown in Figure 3 (A-C). The images exhibit clearly delineated layers of both MOF and metal oxide composites within the layered MMC. Both agents reacted on the substrate resulting in the formation of non-toxic products pinacolyl methylphosphonic acid21 and ethyl methylphosphonic acid27 for soman and VX, respectively, as determined by NMR (Figures S7-10). The calculated rate of disappearance of soman was 54 min while VX disappearance data showed two different regimes, one with a half-life of 71 min and a second one with a half-life of 158 min (Figure S10). Soman data were well described with a first-order kinetic model with a rate constant of 0.017 min-1. VX data initially conformed to first order kinetics with a rate constant of 0.012 min-1 and then deviated to a much slower 0.0029 min-1. The two regimes for VX removal are consistent with fast initial adsorption into the substrate followed by slower reaction within the pores of the sorbent.28 We anticipate faster rates will be achievable through optimization of both polymer and particle loading.

Additionally, we incorporated an assortment of polymers as the middle layer with a consistent 67 wt% HKUST-1 loading sandwiched between two SIS layers. Three resulting composites (M5-M7) incorporated PS, PEO, and PMMA, respectively. SEM images of the trilayer structure of each MMC are shown in Figure S11.

These MOFwiches demonstrated the potential

applicability towards hydrophobic/hydrophilic and brittle/flexible layered MMCs. Of particular interest was M7 – the sandwich structure could be folded without catastrophic failure of the inner PMMA active layer. When stretched, it exhibited local breakage; however, it readily reformed back to the original structure as shown in Figure 3 (D-E). This behavior has important implications for composites and membranes in general but is specifically applicable to CWA 10 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

protection. Indeed, even after cracking the material provided significant protection against 2CEES as shown in Figure S12.

An alternate polymer form factor in the form of PVDF

nanofibers also was placed within the layered matrix and is referred to as M9. This concept demonstrates the potential to utilize not only a wide range of polymers, but also, a wide range of polymeric structural forms. The MOFwich concept finally was taken to extreme loadings; M8 was fabricated with a layer of 80 wt% UiO-66-NH2 in SEBS and a protective layer of 20 wt% UiO-66-NH2 in SEBS, and the resulting layered composite had the highest surface area of all MMCs studied (226 m2/g, Table S2).

In conclusion, we report on a new strategy for layering MOF/polymer films into hierarchical composites. The sandwich-like structures can be used for a variety of applications through tuning of the polymer, MOF type, MOF wt%, and layer order. Several composites exhibit 11 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

impact resistant and reactive barrier properties to chemical warfare agents, making these materials applicable for a variety of protection applications. Moreover, the versatility of the MOFwich facilitates optimization of layered MMCs for more demanding applications. This feature is especially apparent with M3 and M4, in which the ability to provide a reactive barrier to CWAs while maintaining high MVTR values has led to the development of a breathable, yet protective, rubber. Further materials engineering for other applications is possible with the incorporation of the appropriate MOF and polymer combinations.
