What is the Importance of Ring-Containing Polymers in Heterogeneous Catalysis?
Ring-containing polymers, such as [polystyrene]() or [polyethylene imine](), are extensively used in heterogeneous catalysis. These polymers often serve as support materials that immobilize the active catalytic species. The presence of ring structures in these polymers can enhance their thermal and chemical stability, making them suitable for high-temperature catalytic processes. Additionally, the π-π interactions between aromatic rings can provide additional stabilization for the active sites.
