Metal−organic framework (MOF) materials, which are built of metal ions or metal ion clusters bridged organic linkers, possess the well-defined pore structures, large surface area and extraordinary adsorption affinities.
The manufacturing processes include subtractive manufacturing, which cuts off a piece of material to form the final shape, and additive manufacturing, which builds up the material by stacking [8].
The school is supported by Unicef, which pays the salaries of the teachers, and Shelter Now International, which built the latrines and provides some of the classroom materials.
