Among several toxic chemicals, chemical warfare agent (CWA) is as one of the most hazardous chemicals. These toxic chemicals are generally removed by absorbents such as active carbon etc., which however require additional treatments to detoxify the chemicals. Recently developed Zr-based metal organic framework (MOF) has been known as effective detoxification catalyst for CWAs, especially the fatal nerve agents. However, the powder catalyst is limited to apply for a military system directly due to its poor processability. In this study, we have developed effective polymer composites with UiO-66 catalyst not to decrease the intrinsic catalytic performance of UiO-66 as possible by design of polymer matrixes such as porous structure and functionalization. Obtained unique polymer composites of UiO-66 showed excellent catalytic performances to detoxify the nerve agent simulant both in solution and in solid.
