The crystal growth of the metal-organic framework on the surface of pulp fibers was presented. The study examined the deposition of Cu ₃(BTC)₂ on pulp fibers because it showed good properties and stability. Laboratory paper hand-sheets were prepared containing Cu ₃(BTC)₂ powder for the study, which showed an inhomogeneous distribution of powder. Chemithermomechanical pulp (CTMP), a bleached southern pine kraft pulp, and an unbleached kraft pulp were also used in the study. Powder X-ray diffraction was used for analyzing the samples and scanning electron microscopy was used for determining the degree of distribution of Cu₃(BTC)₂ crystal on the fiber surface. The study found an inexpensive and pliable substrate that can be formed to papers for using in filtration industry.
