Metal-organic framework (MOF) glasses have become a subject of interest as a distinct
category of melt quenched glass, and have potential applications in areas such as ion
transport and sensing. In this paper we show how MOF glasses can be combined with
inorganic glasses in order to fabricate a new family of materials composed of both MOF and
inorganic glass domains. We use an array of experimental techniques to propose the
bonding between inorganic and MOF domains, and show that the composites produced are …

Metal-organic framework (MOF) glasses have become a subject of study due to their novelty
as an entirely new category of melt quenched glass and their potential applications in areas
such as ion transport and sensing. In this paper we show how MOF glasses can be
combined with inorganic glasses in order to fabricate a new family of optically transparent
materials composed of both MOF and inorganic glass domains. We present the design rules
for this family of materials, use an array of experimental techniques to propose the bonding …
