Gas Trapping Fabric

A Cornell student has developed a cloth that can block toxic fumes by trapping the molecules inside the fibers of the material.

The cloth consists of cellulose fibers and metal-organic framework molecules, which form pores that can trap and contain molecules of gas. The fabrics can be tailored to trap different sizes of molecules, blocking different types of gasses.
