Poly(ethylene glycol)-mediated mineralization of metal–organic frameworks

Abstract

We report a one-pot approach for the scalable synthesis of zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 nanoparticles (ZIF-8 NPs) using poly(ethylene glycol) as the mineralizer, where drugs and proteins can be encapsulated in the ZIF-8 NPs for intracellular delivery. The ZIF-8 NPs exhibit high colloidal dispersity and stability (above two weeks) in cell medium.
