What Are the Common Methods for Fiber Modification?
There are several methods to modify fibers for catalytic applications. Some of the most common include:
Chemical Grafting: Involves the attachment of catalytic groups or molecules onto the fiber surface through covalent bonds. Impregnation: A method where catalytic precursors are deposited onto the fiber surface followed by activation procedures such as calcination or reduction. Electrospinning: A technique to create nanofibers with embedded catalytic particles by electrostatically drawing a polymer solution. Layer-by-Layer Assembly: A method to build multilayered films of catalytic materials on fiber surfaces through alternate adsorption of oppositely charged species.
