Other Applications
Catalysts
Cavilink polymers represent the ideal catalyst carrier. The very large cavities of micrometer dimensions permit even large molecule reactants to freely interact with catalytic sites. These large cavities permit free ingress of reactants to the immobilized catalyst, and the interconnections allow egress of reactants and product into and out of the microspheres. Our polymers have been used successfully as scaffolds for catalysts in polyolefin synthesis.
FiltrationCavilink polymers are ideally suited for a variety of filtration applications. Porosity can be controlled from about 70% to more than 90%. A variety of chemical surface modifications is possible so that specificity for particular species is enhanced. Since both cavity size and interconnecting pore size is controlled during manufacture, polymers can be tailored for removal of species of particular size. Companies interested in discussing these opportunities should contact Dr. James Benson directly.
Fuel Cells
Cavilink polymers may be particularly useful in fuel cell applications. The surface area is controllable, as is the size of the cavities and interconnecting pores. A variety of polymers can be employed to optimize conductive vs. insulation effects.
