Processes involving supercritical fluids have taken on a considerable importance over the last few years. Indeed, the physical and chemical characteristics of this kind of medium, together with its exceptional transport properties, promise a whole range of potential applications. In the field of nanomaterials, the use of supercritical fluids opens the way to new opportunities for synthesis. We shall restrict the discussion here to what is required for a good understanding of this particular context. Definitions are mentioned briefly, and the interested reader is directed to the literature for more detail.
