Abstract: | In this concept paper we highlight applications of supercritical fluid technology in particle formation and production, especially some recent advances in the rapid expansion of supercritical solutions (RESS) processing technique. We also highlight the simple but significant modification to the traditional RESS by using a liquid solvent or solution at the receiving end of the supercritical solution expansion, or the rapid expansion of a supercritical solution into a liquid solvent (RESOLV), and applications of the technique to the preparation of nanoparticles. In particular, successes and challenges in the use of RESOLV for nanoscale (<100 nm) polymeric particles and the subsequent protection of the suspended nanoparticles from agglomeration are discussed. |
