The use of supercritical fluids as solvents for the formation of micro-and nano-particles has
shown tremendous over the past few years due to increased demands from industry for …

Sample environments are an essential and integral inclusion to all neutron scattering
experiments. This review describes recent advances in such devices across the full …

We examine the contact angle of water droplets on polystyrene (PS) thin films of varying
thicknesses supported by silicon wafers under both air and pressurized carbon dioxide …

The use of X-ray and neutron reflectivity has been generalized worldwide for scientists who
want to determine specific physical properties (such as electron-density profile, scattering …

The effects of CO2 annealing on the melting and subsequent melt crystallization processes
of spin-cast poly (ethylene oxide)(PEO) ultrathin films (20–100 nm in thickness) prepared on …

We report a mobility gradient of polymer chains in close proximity of a planar solid substrate
in compressed carbon dioxide (CO2) gas. A series of bilayers composed of bottom …

Beyond the peculiar glass transition temperature (Tg) studied extensively for over two
decades, we have investigated in this work the variation of the mass density of polymer thin …

After more than 2 decades of intense research, the density variation in confined polymer
films still remains a puzzling problem subject to controversy as the methods utilized to …

A pre-treatment method of carbon nanotubes for ultrasound-assisted dispersion in a solution
is reported. Compared to untreated nanotubes, supercritical-fluid (SCF)-treated carbon …

The response of stimuli-responsive polymer brushes to moderately elevated pressure is
investigated by neutron reflectivity and a thermodynamically consistent density functional …
