Self-supported MOF/cellulose-nanocrystals materials designed from ultrafiltration

SAXS. This technique was employed to investigate the filtration process, which exhibited a homogeneous deposition of ZIF-8 particles mediated by CNC self-assembly. Finally, the available pore volume and integrity of the internal porosity of ZIF-8 were characterized by water porosimetry, demonstrating that the presence of CNCs did not alter the properties of the supported ZIF-8.
