Outline of Final Research Achievements

We demonstrated a macroscopic structuring of coordination polymers/metal oxide hybrid materials. In particular, aluminium oxide and vanadium oxide were primarily structurized into one-dimensional nanofibers or two-dimensional honeycomb structures. Using a pseudomorphic replication process, in which metal ions were dissolved from structured metal oxide and immediately reacted with organic ligands in solution to form coordination polymers, the surface of metal oxide were converted to coordination polymers, leading to the fabrication of coordination polymers/metal oxide hybrid materials with retaining the macroscopic one-dimensional or two-dimensional structures. Furthermore, iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles were incorporated into aluminium coordination polymers/metal oxide nanofibers, which leads to new extracellular scaffolds that release bioactive molecules by magnetic fields.
