Abstract:
A method is described to strengthen the binding of organic resin to inorganic zeolite, allowing large particles to be microtomed. For FeZSM-5 aggregates the particle size limit increased from 3 microns to greater than 20 microns in diameter by application of this method. This technique can be applied to a variety of oxide powder samples, extending the utility of microtomy as a materials science tool.
