The rapid expansion of supercritical carbon dioxide solutions into a liquid solvent (RESOLV) technique with environmentally benign supercritical carbon dioxide was used to produce semi-conducting polymeric nanoparticles of fluoroalkyl ester substituted thiophenes. When the supercritical solutions of the conjugated polymer, poly[2-(3-thienyl) acetyl-3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,8, tridecafluoro-1-octanate] (PSFTE) were expanded into aqueous solutions through a small capillarynozzle (150 μm), spherical nanoparticles in the range of 50–100 nm were obtained. However, after 15 min of expansion, the particles tended to aggregate to form larger objects due to the high surface energy of the polymeric nanoparticles. In order to prevent the agglomeration of particles, a relatively low concentration of sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) or NaCl was used as a stabilizing agent in aqueous solution. While NaCl did not give enough stabilization to the system, uniform spherical nanoparticles of PSFTE having an average size of 45 nm were successfully obtained by SDS stabilization.

Metallopolymer nanocomposites has attracted much attention recently. The impregnation of organometallic compound from the supercritical solution into the polymer matrix has several advantages. The impregnation process isotherm of bis(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedionato) (1,5-cyclooctadiene) ruthenium (II) (Ru(cod)(tmhd)2) into polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) film in supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) was investigated. The experiments for determining the isotherm were carried out at 40 °C and 10.34 MPa. It was found that the impregnation isotherm is linear up to the saturation concentration of the precursor in scCO2fluid phase. The slope of the linear curve defined equilibrium partition coefficient K provides a measure of the partitioning of Ru(cod)(tmhd)2between the PDMS film and scCO2fluid phase and it is constant under the same conditions. It showed that K is mainly govered by the density of scCO2and does not change much with temperature at a constant density of scCO2.
