Why are Polymeric Coatings Important in Catalysis?
Polymeric coatings play a crucial role in catalysis by offering numerous advantages:
- Protection: They protect the active catalytic sites from deactivation caused by harsh reaction conditions. - Stability: Enhanced thermal and chemical stability ensures longer catalyst life. - Selectivity: Coatings can be designed to allow selective interaction with specific reactants, improving the overall selectivity of the catalytic process. - Regeneration: Some polymeric coatings enable easier regeneration of the catalyst, reducing operational costs.
