Puffed-up MOFs for improved drug supply

The spongelike construction of metallic natural frameworks (MOFs) permits these polymers to presumably carry and ship a spread of therapeutic compounds. Now, researchers handled a chromium-containing MOF with a dose of acetic acid, extra concentrated than in vinegar, to broaden its pore dimension and floor space. The puffed-up MOFs held extra ibuprofen or chemotherapy drug in comparison with the unique model and had improved efficiency as a possible drug-delivery car.
