The interface between two immiscible electrolyte solutions (ITIES) provides a well-defined platform for fundamental studies of adsorption processes and molecular reactivity in general. Two bio-inspired systems are considered in the present work: adsorbed p ...
The technique of reaction calorimetry adapted for use with reactions in supercritical fluids was used to study some safety aspects of the free-radical dispersion polymerization of methyl methacrylate in scCO2. The reaction heat rate profile was found to ch ...
The PhD thesis deals with the optimization of the reaction calorimetry technique to monitor chemical reactions in supercritical fluids. The aim is to develop this thermal analysis technique to monitor the heat released by a chemical reaction in a high pres ...
The catalytic hydrocarboxylation of linear alkenes to carboxylic acids using supercritical carbon dioxide as a solvent was studied. High selectivities in acids have been obtained. The best results were achieved when adding a perfluorinated surfactant to th ...
Supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) is a promising foaming agent for the production of polymeric foams, representing an environmentally friendly alternative for the foaming agents currently used. During the expansion phase of the scCO2-foaming process, te ...
