Metal encapsulation optimizes chemical reactions

Wednesday, July 1, 2015 - 08:30 in Physics & Chemistry

The chemical industry consumes millions of tons of packing materials as catalytic sup- port media or adsorbents in fixed-bed reactors and heat storage systems. Fraunhofer researchers have developed a means of encapsulating these filler particles in metal that multiplies their thermal conductivity by five.
