In addition, in comparison with EVM-800, EVM-1000 is observed to have clearly reduced characteristic peaks.
It illustrates clearly that the crystal phase has been largely transformed to an amorphous one at 1000 C.
This is in good agreement with the above presented BET surface area results.
It could be concluded that EVM-800 is the optimum paraffin supporting matrix candidate, as it has the best expanded
microstructure, crystallization, as well as moderate energy consumption during its fabrication process.
