How are Catalysts Incorporated into Polymer Matrices?
Catalysts can be incorporated into polymer matrices through various techniques: - Physical Entrapment: Catalysts are physically trapped within the polymer network. - Covalent Bonding: Catalytic species are covalently bonded to the polymer chains, ensuring stronger attachment and stability. - Ionic Interaction: Catalysts interact ionically with the polymer matrix, providing a balance between stability and activity.
