Surface modification process on solid foams

• Mild coating process for polyurethane (PU) foams
• Preserves mechanical properties of the PU foam
• Suitable for catalysis and water filtration

TECHNOLOGY

• Chemical coating process in 2 steps in mild conditions (<70°C)
• High loading of catalyst obtained

APPLICATIONS

• Hydrogenation, hydroformylation, mild oxidation, photocatalysis
• Filtration of metalic species contained in water (depollution)

INNOVATION ADVANTAGES

• Cost-effective, simple and ready to use method
• No leaching of the catalytic species
• Large catalytic surface area
• Flexibility and resistance of the foams are preserved
• Metals can be recycled after carbonising the foam
