more and more attention has been paid to supercritical carbon dioxide.This paper mainly reviewed the preparation of polymers that has been carried out in supercritical carbon dioxide.A number of polymerization reactions
such as free-radical polymerization
cationic polymerization
transition metal-catalyzed polymerization
thermal ring-opening polymerization
sol-gel polymerization and oxidative coupling polymerization are described in details.It indicates that supercritical carbon dioxide will have a great impact on the field of polymer synthesis in future.
