Abstract

release (6.9-13.6 ppm over 7 days) and demonstrated improved methylene blue loading capacity, showing promise for pH-responsive drug delivery. This adaptable synthetic method to produce P40-based MOF composites highlights the potential synergistic benefits of combining PBG microspheres (bioactivity, tuneable degradation rates) and MOFs (high surface areas and porosity), offering an underexplored strategy to new MOF@PBG composites for drug delivery, antibacterial coatings and bone repair.
