Synthesis and Processing of Porous Polymers Using Supercritical Carbon Dioxide
نویسندگان
چکیده
The production of porous polymers is often solvent intensive. As environmental regulations become more stringent, there is a need to consider cleaner routes to these materials. Carbon dioxide has emerged as a clean and versatile solvent for the synthesis and processing of a range of polymers(1). CO2 is inexpensive, non-toxic, non-flammable, and easily separated from products. This review focuses upon the formation of porous polymers and polymer blends using supercritical CO2 (scCO2). The advantages of CO2 are evaluated in each case.

Continuous Synthesis of Oleyl Oleate in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide using Solid p-Toluenesulfonic Acid as Catalyst
Supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) was used as solvent to synthesize oleyl oleate as an analog of Jojoba oil from oleic acid and oleyl alcohol with high conversion (100%) of the acid into ester in a short time of 100 min. Utilizing a low cost solid catalyst, p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (PTSA), the esterification reaction was performed, without any prior preparation step...
