摘要:
A method for forming a continuous film on a substrate surface that involves depositing particles onto a substrate surface and contacting the particle-deposited substrate surface with a supercritical fluid under conditions sufficient for forming a continuous film from the deposited particles. The particles may have a mean particle size of less 1 micron. The method may be performed by providing a pressure vessel that can contain a compressible fluid. A particle-deposited substrate is provided in the pressure vessel and the compressible fluid is maintained at a supercritical or sub-critical state sufficient for forming a film from the deposited particles. The Tg of particles may be reduced by subjecting the particles to the methods detailed in the present disclosure.

The present invention is a method of separating a first compound having a macromolecular structure from a mixture. The first solvent is a fluid that is a gas at standard temperature and pressure and is at a density greater than a critical density of the fluid. A macromolecular structure containing a first compound is dissolved therein as a mixture. The mixture is contacted onto a selective barrier and the first solvent passed through the selective barrier thereby retaining the first compound, followed by recovering the first compound. By using a fluid that is a gas at standard temperature and pressure at a density greater than its critical density, separation without depressurization is fast and efficient.

A system and method for acid-gas capture wherein organic acid-gas capture materials form hetero-atom analogs of alkyl-carbonate when contacted with an acid gas. These organic-acid gas capture materials include combinations of a weak acid and a base, or zwitterionic liquids. This invention allows for reversible acid-gas binding to these organic binding materials thus allowing for the capture and release of one or more acid gases. These acid-gas binding organic compounds can be regenerated to release the captured acid gasses and enable these organic acid-gas binding materials to be reused. This enables transport of the liquid capture compounds and the release of the acid gases from the organic liquid with significant energy savings compared to current aqueous systems.
