Solid and melt state processing of polymers and their composites in supercritical carbon dioxide

Supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) has been widely studied as an environmentally friendly alternative to organic solvents in many applications. This thesis will describe specific routes for both melt and solid-state processing of polymers in scCO2-mediated environments. The primary goal is to anal...
