Applications of supercritical fluids in polymer analysis

  • Chapter
Applications of Supercritical Fluids in Industrial Analysis

Abstract

The use of supercritical fluids for chromatography and/or extraction is applicable to a wide variety of compound classes. Of all the application areas that have been investigated to date, polymers have probably bene-fitted from the use of supercritical fluids more than any other. Polymers and polymer additives that are found in foods, textiles, surfactants, cosmetics, the environment, and the petroleum industries all have become areas where supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) and supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) are presently finding widespread acceptance and use.
