Chemistry in supercritical fluid-swollen polymers: Direct synthesis of polymer/polymer and polymer/metal composites

A simple and versatile method for the preparation of polymer composites in supercritical fluids (SCFs) is proposed and demonstrated by experiment. Reagents are infused into solid polymers as SCF solutions and converted to the desired product by inducing a reaction to occur in the presence of the SCF...
