“…As a result of these beneficial properties, carbon dioxide has emerged as an alternative to traditional organic solvents in the preparation of colloidal dispersions [2][3][4][5][6], including microemulsions [3,[7][8][9], miniemulsions [10][11][12], macroemulsions [13][14][15][16][17][18], and polymer latexes [19,20]. Water-in-CO 2 (W/C) miniemulsions [10,12], with droplets ranging from 50 to 500 nm in diameter, and macroemulsions [14,15,18,21], consisting of droplets greater than 500 nm, are formed by shear and are stabilized kinetically, whereas microemulsions are thermodynamically stable. Examples of applications for these liquid or solid dispersions include dry cleaning [22], photoresist drying [23], metal extraction [24], nanoparticle synthesis [25,26], and enzymatic catalysis [27].…”
