NEWS RELEASE

New synthesis strategy could speed up PFAS decontamination
Rice engineers have developed an innovative way to make covalent organic frameworks (COFs), special materials that can be used to trap gases, filter water and speed up chemical reactions. COFs have the potential to address significant environmental challenges, including energy storage and pollution control. An example of that is their potential use in the decontamination of "forever chemicals" or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances.
