The effect of compressible solvents on the phase behavior of multicomponent polymer systems

In recent years, supercritical fluids (SCF), specifically carbon dioxide (CO2), have been tested and applied as alternative solvents for polymer processing and modification. The principal utility of CO2 in heterogeneous polymer systems lies in the sorption of significant mass fractions of CO2, which...
