Example 1 Making coating compositions including MOFs. Four coating compositions were prepared by using two different types of MOFs and two different types of binders, as also summarized in Table 1. The MOFs used in coating compositions S1 and S2 were aluminum fumarate (A520 from Novamof), having an average particle size (D50) of 9.3 µm, and a surface area of 890 m ² /g. The MOFs used for making coating compositions S3 and S4 were an iron-based MOF (Mil-100), having an average particle size of 34 µm and a surface area of 1200 m ² /g. As binders were used sodium alginate (samples S1 and S3), and boehmite (samples S2 and S4). The coating compositions were prepared by dispersing 1 wt% binder in 79 wt% distilled water using a shear mixer until the binder was dissolved, followed by slowly adding 20wt% of the MOF-powder. All wt% amounts relate to the total amount of the final coating composition before applying it on the substrate. The viscosities of the compositions including the aluminum fumarate MOF were between 600 cP and 800 cP. The pH for all compositions was between 9 and 10. Table 1: Making functional layers using coating compositions including Na alginate as binder. Coating composition S1 of Example 1 was applied via dip-coating on a variety of substrates made of different materials: 1) aluminum, 2) surface-roughened aluminum, 3) polycarbonate, 4) surface-roughened polycarbonate, and 5) a dual-cured polymeric substrate. The alumina and polycarbonate substrates had a circular wheel shape with 3 inches diameter, and triangular sub-sections. The formed dual-cured polymeric substrate had an 8 inches diameter shape with triangular sub-sections, and was designed as an entropy wheel for use in a dehumidifier. For applying the coatings on the substrates, each substrate was fully dipped in the respective coating composition for 3 seconds. The temperature of the coating compositions was room-temperature. Thereafter, while still being liquid, the applied coating composition layer was sprayed with a 30wt% CaCl ₂ solution using a spray bottle in order to initiate gelling and solidification of the coating composition to form a solid functional layer. After the treatment with the CaCl ₂ solution, the coating composition solidified within about 30 seconds. The thickness of the applied functional coatings was about twice the average size of the MOF particles. The dual-cured polymeric substrate (5) was made by forming via 3D printing a green body substrate using a two-component resin system, of which the first component was a photo- curable acrylic resin, and the second component was a thermo-curable epoxy resin (a diglycidyl ether bisphenol based resin). In view of the large size of the wheel (8 inches diameter), the wheel was divided in four quarters, and each quarter wheel part was 3D printed separately and also separately coated and cured before being assembled. Curing of the green body wheel substrate was conducted first by subjecting the green body parts to UV radiation to photo-cure the acrylic resin. Thereafter, the partially cured substrate part was dipped for 3 seconds in coating composition S1. After the dip-coating, the applied coating composition was treated with a 30 wt% CaCl ₂ solution by spraying with a spray bottle to initiate solidifying of the coating, followed by a heat treatment at 70°C for 120 minutes in order to cure the thermo-curable epoxy resin of the green body substrate. An image of a section of the coated entropy wheel can be seen in FIG. 3A. The image shows a section of coated triangular channels, having a length of 2 mm. The complete wheel had a diameter of eight inches and a thickness of 0.5 inches. An image of the complete structure of the wheel design can be seen in FIG. 3B. The applied coating layers (herein also called functional layers) on the different substrate types were evaluated by their adhesion to the substrate. No sufficient adhesion of the functional layers could be observed when using non-roughened aluminum or non-roughened polycarbonate substrate. After roughening the aluminum and carbonate substrate surfaces via sandblasting, the adhesion of the dip-coated layers was much improved. Excellent adhesion could be observed using as substrate the polymeric substrate made by the dual-curing resin system, wherein dip- coating was conducted after the UV curing and before thermal curing, see also Table 2.

Table 2: It was not possible to form desirable functional layers when using coating composition S3 (including iron-containing MOF Nil-100 and alginate binder) and conducting the dip-coating and curing on any of the five substrate materials. Example 3 Making functional layers using coating compositions including boehmite as binder. The same dip-coating coating experiments as conducted in Example 2 were conducted with coating compositions S2 and S4, which included boehmite as a binder and MOFs A520 (S2) or Mil-100 (S4), see Table 1. As substrate was used the same type of 3D printed dual-cured polymeric entropy-wheel having a diameter of 8 inches. After UV curing, the coating composition was applied via dip-coating to the partially cured substrate. After the dip-coating, the substrate part was heated to a temperature of 70°C for two hours to conduct the thermo- curing and solidifying of the coating (functional layer). When using boehmite as binder in the coating, it was possible to form layers with good adhesion to the substrate with both types of MOF particles, A520 and Mil-100. Another substrate for forming functional layers including boehmite as a binder was a zeolite wheel. The zeolite wheel had the same basic structure as the 3D printed polymeric wheel. Also on the zeolite wheel substrate functional layer could be formed having a good adhesion to the substrate, with both the S2 and the S4 coating compositions. In the foregoing specification, the concepts have been described with reference to specific embodiments. However, one of ordinary skill in the art appreciates that various modifications and changes can be made without departing from the scope of the invention as set forth in the claims below. Accordingly, the specification and figures are to be regarded in an illustrative rather than a restrictive sense, and all such modifications are intended to be included within the scope of the invention. Example 4 Various coating compositions were made, including MOFs, binder, and water. Each coating composition contained 40 wt% aluminum hydroxide isophthalate (CAU- 10) as MOF, with a D50 size of 4.98 microns, and a D90 size of 7.7 microns. The different types of polymers used as a binder were grouped into Polymer I (water- insoluble polymers) and Polymer II (water-soluble polymers). As Polymer I were selected Rhoplex GL-618, a water-insoluble polymer self-crosslinking acrylic material, Maincote 5045, a styrene acrylic self-crosslinking water-insoluble polymer, and SILRES* MP 50E, a silicon binder with phenyl groups. The total amount of the Polymer 1 materials were between 3 and 6 wt% based on the total weight of coating composition. Polymer 2 materials were selected CMC12M8P from Ashland, a water-soluble sodium carboxymethyl cellulose; and Lupasol PS, a water-soluble polyethyleneimine. The amount of the Polymer 2 materials was between 0.2 and 2 wt% for a total weight of the coating composition. The ratio between Polymer 1 and Polymer 2, based on dry content in the coating compositions was between 2:1 and 10:1. The coating compositions had a viscosity in a range of 0.5 to 50 cP at a shear rate of 10 s- 1 , measured with an AR DH10 rheometer, using 40 mm 2-degree cone geometry. Table 3 includes a summary of the samples and adhesion testing when applied on a stainless steel substrate via dip-coating.

Table 3: It was surprising and unexpected that certain combinations of polymers (i.e., Polymer 1 and Polymer 2) resulted in improved adhesion over other samples using one or a different combination of polymer materials. Conducting of the coating and measurement of the coating adhesion The functional layers on the samples were applied as coatings on 325 mesh stainless steel (T316L) substrate stripes via dip coating, using a gravity meter. The size of each substrate strip was 4 inches x 1 inch, with a thickness of 86 microns. The target thickness of the coatings was between 100 µm to 200 µm. The coating line speed was between 2 FPM and 10 FPM and adopted to adjust to the desired coating weight. After the dip coating, the coatings were dried in an oven at 115°C for 5 minutes. The weight of the substrate was measured before coating with the functional layer and the weight of the sample was measured after the coating process. The weight of the sample (substrate + coating) prior to adhesion testing was recorded as the starting weight. The adhesion of the functional layer to the stainless steel substrate was tested according to a modified ASTM E8, using an Instron 5900 series instrument. The testing was conducted at a temperature of 25°C, at a relative humidity between 20% to 50% RH. Each sample was attached at each end to a 10 kN strong grip up to a distance of 1 inch of the end. After positioning of the sample in the grips, the grips were moved apart from each other at a pull rate of 5 mm/minute until failure. Failure was indicated by the Instron instrument by the sudden drop of the load of 80% or greater from the maximum load. A typical load curve until failure of the test stripe is shown in FIG. 5. After failure, the sample was removed from the grips and weighed. The weight after the test was recorded as the final weight. The purpose of the adhesion testing was to evaluate the loss of the functional layer from the substrate. The strength of the adhesion of the coatings was quantified by the percent weight loss of the coating (i.e., adhesion loss factor (ALF)). The ALF was calculated as: ALF [%] = (final weight / starting weight) x 100%. If portions of the coating were removed completely from the substrate, such loose portions were not included as part of the final weight. The adhesion loss factor (ALF) values listed in Table 3 relate to functional layers formed on the above described stainless steel stripes. Example 5 Measuring the water absorption of MOF containing coatings. Measurements were made comparing the water absorption of the MOF powder used as starting material for the coating compositions with the water absorption of the functional coating layers applied with coating composition S5 and of comparative coating composition C6. The conducted test was a gravimetric water vapor sorption method via SMS DVS- Intrinsic as a function of the relative humidity at a constant temperature of 25°C. For the testing, the test material (MOF powder or coated substrate) was placed in a chamber with controlled relative humidity. During the testing, the relative humidity was varied from 0% to 100%. After each change of the humidity value, it was waited until a constant weight of the sample was reached to quantify the maximum adsorption of water at a certain relative humidity. The test results are illustrated in the graph shown in FIG. 4. It can be seen that the water absorption of the functional coating made with coating composition S5 was very similar as the water absorption of the MOF powder. A plateau was reached already at about 20 % RH, and the water absorption increased only minor until 100% RH. The difference in the water absorption of the MOF powder sample to the coating layer containing the MOF was only about 11 %, expressed as normalized functionality ratio (NFR) of 0.89. The water absorption of the functional coating of comparative sample C6 was clearly lower than the water absorption of sample S5. Table 4 below summarizes the exact water absorption values at 30% RH and 80% RH. The normalized functionality ratio of the water absorption of MOF powder to the representative functional layer of sample S5 was greater than 0.8. Table 4: In the foregoing specification, the concepts have been described with reference to specific embodiments. However, one of ordinary skill in the art appreciates that various modifications and changes can be made without departing from the scope of the invention as set forth in the claims below. Accordingly, the specification and figures are to be regarded in an illustrative rather than a restrictive sense, and all such modifications are intended to be included within the scope of the invention.
