This approach provides a new technique to synthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using CO(2)-expanded liquids (CXLs) as the processing medium. A soluble form of silver carboxylate, silver isostearate (AgISt), was synthesized and characterized. The XRD and DSC analyses indicated that the

Deuterated rhamnolipids were produced using strain AD7 of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which was progressively adapted to increasing levels of deuterium in D(2)O and carbon substrates. Fourteen different deuterated rhamnolipid structures, including structural isomers, were produced which is similar to normal protonated

The adjustable solvent properties, vanishingly low surface tensions, and environmentally green characteristics of supercritical carbon dioxide present certain advantages in nanoparticles synthesis and processing. Unfortunately, most current techniques employed to synthesize and disperse nanoparticles in carbon dioxide use environmentally persistent
