Summary: Finally, the first microemulsion polymerization in scCO2 was performed. With the aid of a reported anionic phosphate fluorocarbon surfactant, CO2-insoluble/water-soluble monomer (acryloxyethyltrimethyl ammonium chloride) and crosslinker (N,N′-methylenebisacrylamide) were dispersed into CO2 continuous phase within microemulsion water pools. Spherical nano-sized particles with narrow size distributions were obtained.
