In organotextile catalysis, materials such as nylon, are functionalised with organic catalysts. The procedure, developed by a team of chemists led by Benjamin List at the Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung, increases the active surface of catalysts and could makes processes such as the synthesis of medical agents in the pharmaceutical industry more efficient.
However, the term could soon refer to something else
