| Research Abstract |
Supercritical CO_2 (scCO_2) have been attracted much attention as a substitute solvent of VOC, however it is usually poor solvent for polar materials. To use scCO_2 in various industrial fields, scCO_2 should have dispersed water droplets, that is, a water/scCO_2 microemulsion (W/CO_2 μE). This study successfully developed an inexpensive and environmentally-acceptable non-fluorinated surfactant as a stabilizer for W/CO_2 μE.
