Environmentally Friendly Supercritical Fluid for Materials Science

The new worlds of material science and nanotechnology need new tools. Dealing with small spaces, small pores, small particles, special surfaces requires techniques that liquids (and gases) are not capable of delivering. NO SURFACE TENSION gives you the ability to easily move in small spaces, in small pores, among small particles and on special surfaces that liquids are incapable of doing.
Reactions, surface modifications, impregnations, implantations, cleaning, selective removal, extractions, sizing, drying, making nanoparticles are all in the lexicon of supercritical fluids. Not only can you do things you couldn't do before with liquids, the technology is ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY.
SCF systems ranging
from benchtop
laboratory systems
to large-scale
production systems


A few of the many uses for supercritical fluids are:
Cleaning medical implants
Making nanoparticles
Drying aerogels
Cleaning wafers
Developing photoresists
Debinding metal injection molding parts
Extraction of pharmaceuticals/nutraceuticals
Porous materials
Surface modification
Deposition
Impregnation
