Patterning and Dynamics of Structured Surfaces in Metal/Covalent Organic Frameworks and Polymer Chemistry
摘要
Patterning techniques have significantly advanced materials science by enabling precise control over structural and functional features of materials. Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs), and conjugated polymers possess exceptional properties, including high porosity and tunable surface chemistry, making them promising candidates for patterning strategies. This review examines how these materials can be integrated with photolithography, self-assembly, and direct writing, emphasizing their synthesis, compatibility with fabrication methods, and performance advantages. Potential applications in electronics, optoelectronics, and catalysis are discussed, along with current challenges related to stability, scalability, and device integration. Finally, the review identifies emerging directions for patterning technologies that could drive the next generation of functional devices.
