Abstract The ongoing search for environmentally friendlier alternative to the organic solvents used in chemical processes has led to the development of technologies based on supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2), which is non-flammable, non-toxic and relatively inert fluid. Polymer chemistry does not escape this trend. Fluoropolymers prepared in scCO2 have many special properties, which are different from fluoropolymers that use water as the reaction medium, this paper studies the effect of polymerization temperature on polyvinyl fluoride polymerization in supercritical carbon dioxide. The results show that as the polymerization temperature increases, the intrinsic viscosity and shear viscosity of the polymer gradually decreases; at the same time, the increasing of polymerization temperature leads to higher proportion of irregular structure of the polymer, which causes lower melting point and lower crystallinity, and the film prepared by the resin also exhibits a higher visible light transmittance. The above results show that the resin polymerized in supercritical carbon dioxide can impart better performance to conventional polymerization, which expands the potential application fields of the resin.

Supercritical fluids and ionic liquids are neoteric solvents that can be used as non-conventional reaction media for enzymatic catalysis under optimised conditions. These solvents exhibit many different physical and chemical properties, but have two cross-points: they are not-miscible and can be easily separated from substrates and products, and they can be reused. As supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) can dissolve in the ionic liquid (IL) phase (up to 0.7 mole fraction), a new concept of biphasic bioreactors for Fine Chemicals syntheses may be developed by using both enzyme and chemical catalysts "immobilized" into the IL phase, and substrates transported by the scCO2 phase. The system was tested for the continuous chemoenzymatic dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) of rac-1-phenylethanol in IL/scCO2 by using simultaneously immobilized lipase (Novozym 435) and acid zeolites catalysts at 50°C and 100 bars, providing good yields (up 98.0 %) for R-phenylethyl propionate ester with excellent enantioselectivity (up to 97.3 %), and without any activity loss after 14 days of operation.
