Abstract

The influence of polymer matrix on the activity of composite material containing cobalt nanoparticles in Fischer-Tropsch synthesis was
studied. It was found that the structure of the polymer matrix affects active centers formation. Magnetometry techniques in situ and XRD
confirmed the presence of the metal cobalt and its oxide phases which are the active centers of different type effect.

Key words: Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, cobalt catalysts, polymer, polyconjugated system, magnetometry
