Smart fluids enhance catalytic processes in several ways:
Dynamic Control: The properties of smart fluids can be dynamically controlled, providing a means to optimize reaction conditions in real-time. Improved Mass Transfer: By altering their viscosity, smart fluids can enhance mass transfer rates, which is crucial for efficient catalytic reactions. Selective Catalysis: The ability to modify fluid properties can lead to selective activation or deactivation of catalysts, improving the specificity of reactions.
