01F05 Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology Applications Using Compressible or Supercritical Fluids
OverviewContributions are sought that describe advances in the use of compressible or supercritical fluids as a tunable, green approach for pharmaceutical and biotechnology applications. Topics of interest include, for example, material synthesis and processing, particle design, drug development, catalysis, energy and biofuels, and separations. Experimental and theoretical contributions are welcome.
