Intriguing structure and drug delivery capability of novel 3D covalent organic framework

Caption

TUS-84, the novel 3D COF developed at the Tokyo University of Science, exhibits a unique double interpenetrating structure with well-defined voids (left), as well as an extended drug release performance of about 35% after 5 days (right), indicating its potential application in drug delivery.
