What Types of Catalysts are Most Affected by Shear Sensitivity?
Certain types of catalysts are more prone to shear sensitivity, including:
1. Heterogeneous Catalysts: Particularly those with fragile supports or finely divided active phases. 2. Enzyme Catalysts: Biological catalysts that can denature under mechanical stress. 3. Nanostructured Catalysts: Catalysts with nanoscale features that are susceptible to aggregation or structural changes. 4. Polymeric Catalysts: Catalysts based on polymeric materials that can undergo shear-induced chain scission or conformational changes.
