Abstract: The metal-organic frameworks materials MOF-5 and silver-loaded MOF-5 (Ag@MOF-5) were prepared by hydrothermal method. Electrostatic spinning beta-Cyclodextrin(β-CD),MOF-5/β-CD,Ag@MOF-5/β-CD fiber membranes with three dimensional crosslinking network structure were prepared by electrostatic spinning and in situ thermal crosslinking methods. The morphology, structure characterization and properties of electrostatic spun fiber membranes were tested by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM&EDS), thermal weightlessness (TG), universal material testing machine and bacteriostatic method. The results show that Ag@MOF-5 nanocrystals are uniformly loaded with a large number of globular silver nanoparticles which is about 3—5 nm in diameter. The diameter of electrostatic spinning β-CD fiber is about 500 nm which is uniformly distributed and has smooth surface. When MOF-5 and Ag@MOF-5 were added into the spinning solution, the diameter of the fibers is not evenly distributed, and a large number of filaments appeared. Most of Ag@MOF-5 is a fibrous arrangement and wrapped by the fiber forming material. The heat resistance temperature of fiber membrane is 250 ℃. Ag@MOF-5 does not affect the crosslinking process, water absorption properties of thermal decomposition temperature of β-CD fiber membrane. The addition amount of Ag@MOF-5 can be up to 1wt%, and the mechanical properties of electrostatic spinning Ag@MOF-5/β-CD fiber membrane is not reduced. Electrostatic spinning MOF-5/β-CD has limited antibacterial properties against both bacteria, while 0.5wt% Ag@MOF-5/β-CD has achieved good 24 h antibacterial effect.
