“Mechanical Properties and Exotic Behaviour of Metal-Organic Frameworks”

Very little is known about the physical properties of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), in comparison to their widely studied chemical properties. This lecture will explore the thermal and mechanical properties of MOFs, show why they are important, and provide examples of seemingly anomalous behaviour in the family.
