Abstract

Due to the fact that zirconium based metal-organic frameworks (Zr-MOFs), such as UiO-66, have a large specific surface area and excellent selective adsorption capacity, Zr-MOFs are gaining attention as materials that can provide protection from the attack of chemical warfare agents in battleground. However, most of the metal-organic frameworks have an issue of selective adsorption capacity degraded by water molecules when exposed to the atmosphere, because of the weak metal-organic ligand bonds and the presence of voids. Therefore, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), a representative hydrophobic polymer material, was coated on the surface of UiO-66 to enhance the sustainability of the diisopropyl methylphosphonate (DIMP) sorption capacity in the battleground condition. Through the analysis of surface structure and organic functional group distribution of PDMS coated UiO-66, silicon was confirmed to be evenly coated. The contact angle increased by over 30° for the PDMS coated UiO-66, indicating that the hydrophobicity was improved. In addition, both the UiO-66 and PDMS coated UiO-66 were used as adsorbents for DIMP, a similar chemical warfare agent, to investigate the durability of adsorption capacity in a high humidity environment. The PDMS coated UiO-66 showed higher durability of adsorption capacity for 20 days than that of pristine UiO-66.

UiO-66과 같은 지르코늄 기반 금속유기골격체(Zr-MOFs)는 비표면적이 넓고 선택적 흡착 능력이 뛰어나 전장환경에서 화학작용제 방호 물질로써 주목받고 있다. 하지만 대부분의 금속유기골격체는 약한 금속-유기 리간드 결합과 공극의 존재로 인하여 대기 중에 노출 시 물 분자와의 반응으로 선택적 흡착 성능이 저하되는 문제점이 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 대표적인 소수성 고분자 물질인 폴리디메틸실록산(PDMS)을 지르코늄 기반 금속유기골격체인 UiO-66 표면에 코팅하였고, 전장환경에서 적용 가능성을 평가하기 위해 고습 환경에서 diisopropyl methylphosphonate (DIMP)와 같은 유사 화학작용제의 흡착 성능 지속성을 코팅 전과 비교하였다. PDMS를 코팅한 UiO-66의 표면 구조와 유기 작용기 분포를 분석한 결과 실리콘이 고르게 도포된 것을 확인하였으며, 접촉각을 측정한 결과 PDMS를 코팅한 UiO-66에서 30° 이상 접촉각이 증가하여 소수성이 증대한 것을 확인하였다. 또한 UiO-66과 PDMS를 코팅한 UiO-66을 흡착제로 사용하여 고습 환경에서 유사 화학작용제인 DIMP의 흡착 성능 지속성을 확인한 결과 PDMS를 코팅한 UiO-66가 기존의 UiO-66에 비하여 높은 DIMP 흡착 성능 지속성을 나타내는 것을 알 수 있었다.
