01F03 Materials Synthesis and Processing with near and Supercritical Fluids II: Polymers
OverviewFocus is polymers. This session invites contributions that relate to the use of supercritical fluids to produce materials with new or enhanced properties. This includes, but is not limited to, papers on formation of particles, films, coatings, and composite materials, using techniques such as rapid expansion, antisolvent precipitation, fluidisation, and dispersion and impregnation using supercritical fluids. Papers are encouraged that describe developments in experimental technique, developments in process characterisation and instrumentation technologies, and advances in theoretical modelling and understanding of the processes.
