Aufgrund ihrer sehr großen inneren Oberfläche und hohen Porosität können metallorganische Gerüstmaterialien (MOFs) vergleichsweise große Gasmengen im Tank speichern. Dies erhöht die Reichweite von Erdgasfahrzeugen deutlich. BASF-Forscher haben ein Verfahren entwickelt, mit dem sich MOFs erstmals im Industriemaßstab auf Wasserbasis herstellen lassen.

The vast internal surface area and high porosity of BASF's metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) allow efficient gas storage and significantly expand tank capacity. This offers benefits such as increasing vehicle range. BASF researchers pioneered a process that enables the water-based synthesis of these materials on an industrial scale.

Clothes with UV protection, gas sensor components or laptop casings – there are a wide variety of applications for these tiny fibers. Currently, however, inorganic nanofibers are still being researched in Ludwigshafen. What’s so special about them? With a diameter of less than 300 nanometers, they are a thousand times finer than a human hair. That means they are no longer visible under a normal optical microscope.
