Environmentally friendly and low-temperature process for polymeric nanomaterials using supercritical carbon dioxide

*** ''Abstract'' [#x9df11da]
Supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) is being used increasingly as an
environmentally friendly solvent for polymer processing. However, the
major disadvantage thus far is that only a limited class of polymers, such
as fluorinated or silicone-based polymers, can be dissolved in scCO2. In
this talk, firstly, I will show the experimental evidence of the anomalous
absorption of the solvent molecules in polymer thin films in the large
compressible region of scCO2 near the critical point (Tc=31.3¡ëC and Pc
=7.38MPa). It is found that the anomalous absorption occurs regardless of
the solvent-polymer interactions and can be scaled with the magnitude of
the long-range density fluctuations in supercritical fluids used in the
study. Secondly, I will show advances in the use of the ?density
fluctuating? scCO2 as a versatile, green and low-temperature operational
solvent for creating novel polymeric nanomaterials (nanocomposites,
blockpolymers, semi-crystalline polymer thin films), allowing control over
the morphologies and various phenomena.
