Thickening CO<sub>2</sub>with Direct Thickeners, CO<sub>2</sub>-in-Oil Emulsions, or Nanoparticle Dispersions: Literature Review and Experimental Validation Open
High molecular weight associating random copolymers, such as poly(fluoroacrylate-styrene) (polyFAST), are direct CO2 thickeners that can dissolve readily in CO2 and significantly increase viscosity. Although polyfluoroacrylate (PFA) is mor…

Design of a Well-Defined Poly(Dimethylsiloxane)-Based Microbial Nanoculture System Open
Organosilanes contain hydrocarbon-like backbones, allowing them to react with silicone-based agents in the presence of a catalyst and polymerize into membranes with tunable transport and mechanical properties. Owing to their high hydrophob…
