What are the Key Challenges in Using Polymeric Coatings for Catalysis?
While polymeric coatings offer many benefits, there are also challenges:
- Uniformity: Achieving a uniform coating thickness can be difficult, impacting catalyst performance. - Adhesion: Ensuring strong adhesion between the polymer and catalyst surface is critical to avoid delamination. - Thermal Stability: Some polymers may degrade at high temperatures, limiting their use in high-temperature reactions. - Compatibility: The polymer must be compatible with the catalyst and reaction environment to avoid adverse effects.
