With the continuous advancement of science and technology, new composite materials are being used more and more widely in various fields. Composite materials are widely used in aerospace, automobile manufacturing, construction, electronics and other fields due to their excellent mechanical properties, lightweight, high strength, corrosion resistance, etc. However, traditional composite materials still have the problem of insufficient mechanical properties under certain extreme conditions. In order to further improve the mechanical properties of composite materials, scientists have begun to explore new materials and technologies, among which the application of reactive gel catalysts has become an important research direction. <\/p>\n
Reactive gel catalyst is a substance that can initiate or accelerate chemical reactions under certain conditions.
