Stimulus-responsive MOF–hydrogel composites: Classification, preparation, characterization, and their advancement in medical treatments

Abstract: Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted chemical and material research interests in recent years due to their incredibly prominent properties and unique structures. Although MOFs have many unique characteristics, including tunable pore structures and functionality, their application performances are hindered by their powdered crystalline state, intrinsic fragility, poor processability, and stability. Recent studies have shown that the incorporation of MOFs into hydrogel outperforms the MOFs in their crystalline state. This article presents the current development of stimulus-responsive MOF–hydrogel composites in terms of synthesis of MOF and preparation of MOF–hydrogel, characterization, and advancement of stimulus-responsive MOF–hydrogel composite in drug delivery and wound management. The article also discusses prospective study directions, delineating potential avenues for further exploration and innovation in this dynamic field.
