The use of supercritical fluids (SCFs) in the polymer industry is said to present an opportunity to create unique products, both now and in the future, as demand and usage of the technology further develops. These gaslike properties also allow supercritical fluids to flow much closer to a surface, and thus they are able to dislodge much smaller particles than existing technologies. Foaming with supercritical fluids reportedly makes possible the production of increasingly smaller cell sizes and higher cell densities. |
