In situ micropillar compression of an anisotropic metal-organic framework single crystal

Understanding the complex mechanical behaviour of metal–organic frameworks is of importance for their real-world application. Here, an in situ micropillar compression method is demonstrated to provide valuable insights into the anisotropic mechanical properties of the HKUST-1 single crystal.
