Fig. 8. SEM micrographs of neat (A) and Au NP-loaded ((B) BSE detector) patchy nonwovens based on s-SEDMA(w) (NW_s-SEDMA(w)/Au); the Au NPs in (B) appear as bright dots. (C) SAXS profiles of the Au NPs immobilized in the patchy nonwoven (filled squares) and of the corresponding aqueous Au NP dispersion employed for the dipping process (red). (D) Comparison of conversion vs. time plots (1^st and 10^th cycles) for the catalytic alcoholysis of dimethylphenylsilane with Au NP-loaded patchy nonwovens based on s-SEDiPA (NW_s-SEDiPA(w)/Au) and s-SEDMA (NW_s-SEDMA(w)/Au) wCCMs as catalysts.
