Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), a class of crystalline, porous, 3D materials synthesized by the linking of metal nodes and organic linkers are rapidly emerging as attractive materials in gas storage, electrodes in batteries, super-capacitors, sensors, water treatment, and medicine etc. However the utility of MOFs in coatings, especially in marine coatings, has not been thoroughly investigated. In this manuscript we report the first study on silver MOF (Ag-MOF) functionalized acrylic polymers for marine coatings. A simple and rapid microwave technique was used to synthesize a two-dimensional platelet structured Ag-MOF. Field tests on the MOF reinforced marine coatings exhibited an antifouling performance, which can be attributed to the inhibition of marine organisms to settle as evidenced by the anti-bacterial activity of Ag-MOFs. Our results indicate that MOF based coatings are highly promising candidates for marine coatings.
金属有机框架材料（MOFs）是一类通过金属节点与有机连接体连接而成的晶体多孔三维材料，在气体储存、电池电极、超级电容器、传感器、水处理和医学等领域正迅速成为有吸引力的材料。然而，MOFs在涂料中的应用，特别是在海洋涂料中的应用尚未得到充分研究。在本论文中，我们报道了关于用于海洋涂料的银MOF（Ag-MOF）功能化丙烯酸聚合物的首次研究。采用一种简单快速的微波技术合成了二维片状结构的Ag-MOF。对MOF增强海洋涂料的现场测试显示出防污性能，这可归因于Ag-MOF的抗菌活性所证明的对海洋生物附着的抑制。我们的结果表明，基于MOF的涂料是海洋涂料非常有前景的候选材料。
