Nanocomposites synthesized using supercritical fluids

Abstract

Herein, our recent work on synthesis of nanocomposites including carbon nanotube-based, polymer-based and porous material-based composites via chemical reactions in supercritical fluids (SCFs) is introduced. The described examples highlight that SCFs allow facile synthesis of nanocomposites, leading to some new nanomaterials with special structures that are very difficult to achieve by conventional methods. The potential applications of these nanocomposites were also discussed.
