A nitinol alloy (NiTi) was used as the support material due to its super elasticity and shape memory properties.
Amongst them CNTs have been considered as the most attractive support material due to its high crystallinity, hydrophobicity, high conductivity, chemical inertness and high surface area [19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24].
Electrodes of fuel cell were usually formed with complex composed of catalysts and supporting materials for preventing aggregation and maximizing surface area, and carbon black has been utilized as supporting materials due to its high conductivity and porosity.
To solve the problem, some form-stable CPCMs have been fabricated by mixing PEG and supporting materials due to the excellent shape-stabilized properties during the phase transition process (Xu and Li 2014; Chen et al. 2015; Sarı 2015; Lafdi et al. 2008; Tang et al. 2016; Qian et al. 2015a).
However, by this analysis, it was clear that biomaterial and chitosan were good supporting materials to ZVIN for the preparation of a post grafting composite material due to prevention of oxidation.
Silica is an important inorganic material due to its extensive use in a wide range of applications including molecular sieves, resins, catalysts, polymer support, and biomedicine.
The WCLL blanket does not require the use of such shielding materials due to a very compact blanket support structure/manifold configuration which yet requires design verification.
Therefore, proteins such as silk and collagen are sensitive polymeric materials due to the peptide backbone.
Ceramic materials due to their high chemical, mechanical and thermal stability in combination to their facile surface functionalization have inspired material scientists to design innovative low-cost ceramic-based membrane supports.
Despite the lower conductivity relative to carbon, TiO2 is interesting to evaluate as catalyst support material not only due to its high stability, but also due to its better catalytic stability, activity, uniform dispersion of metal particles, metal to support interaction and favor better ORR comparable to that of carbon supported catalyst [30].
X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis (Supporting Information, Figure S2) revealed that the support material is converted to Mg(OH 2 due to hydrolysis during the immobilization process, which is carried out in aqueous solution.
