An exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method of affixing molecules to a polymer material, comprising: placing the polymer material in a reactor; removing at least a portion of sorbed water present in the polymer material; exposing the polymer material to a metal precursor to produce an inorganic-organic polymer hybrid material; and soaking the polymer hybrid material in a solution comprising the molecules.

Vapor phase infiltration as a tool to affix molecules to polymer surfaces

Disclosed herein are hybrid membranes comprising: a microporous polymer, the microporous polymer comprising a continuous polymer phase permeated by a continuous pore phase; and an atomic scale inorganic material dispersed throughout the microporous polymer within the continuous pore phase. Methods of making and use of the hybrid membranes are also disclosed.

Hybrid membranes and methods of making and use thereof

Disclosed herein are methods for diffusing precursors into polymer substrates, including methods of chemically modifying polymeric materials by static, low-pressure infiltration of reactive gaseous molecules.
