What are Some Experimental Methods to Study Shear Sensitivity?
Several experimental techniques can be used to study shear sensitivity:
1. Rheometry: Measuring the flow and deformation behavior of catalyst suspensions to assess their response to shear. 2. High-Shear Mixing: Subjecting the catalyst to controlled high-shear conditions and evaluating structural and performance changes. 3. Microscopy: Using electron or optical microscopy to observe morphological changes in catalysts pre- and post-shear exposure. 4. Spectroscopy: Employing techniques like X-ray diffraction (XRD) or nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to study structural integrity.
