Key words: fine-crystalline corundum, sub- and supercritical water, solid phase mobility, crystal formation, microcrystal size distribution, lognormal function, coalescence, surface spreading, recrystallization

A mechanism of the fine-crystalline corundum synthesis from aluminum hydroxide in
the conditions of induced nucleation in the supercritical water fluid at 400°C, an
initial pressure of 26.4 MPa, and subsequent exposure in a synthesis medium is considered.
The size distribution of the crystals was based on the analysis of electron microscopic
images. The use of the lognormal function to describe the crystal size distribution of
the synthesized corundum particles is substantiated. The possibility of using the
lognormal particle size distribution function and the time dependence of its parameters
to reveal the formation routes of the product crystals is analyzed. It is found that the
dimensional spectrum of microcrystals has four components, the appearance of which
is associated with different routes of the product formation. The number of distribution
components remains unchanged during the prolonged exposure, but their average
characteristics have different time dependences. The redistribution of the mass during
recrystallization, which leads, on the whole, to a decrease in the average crystal size, is
explained by differences in the mobility of the crystal structure of different components.
It is concluded that the states of corundum in the newly formed crystals and in the
buildup layer on the particles of the inducing additive are different.

Key words: 1,4-dioxane, thermal stability

Thermal stability of 1,4-dioxane below and above its critical temperature (at 300—
500 °C) and at different fluid densities is studied. In the temperature range of 300—
350 °C dioxane is thermally stable during 80—100 minutes; at higher temperatures
during the same time the uncontrolled pressure growth starts due to the thermal
cracking of dioxane. The analysis of liquid and gas phases after the dioxane thermal
treatment shows the formation of a wide range of products.

The results of an experimental study of the characteristics of phase equilibria for the
systems consisting of toluene, supercritical carbon dioxide and ethylene-vinyl acetate
copolymers (EVAC) are presented. The joint dispersing of different EVAC's and
polyethylene using the SEDS method is performed at 8.0—25 MPa and 313, 323 and 333
K. A comparison of melting and crystallization processes in the mixtures of copolymers
shows that those obtained by the SEDS method have higher degree of crystallinity as
compared with the mixtures of the same compositions, but obtained by melt mixing.

The applicability of the method of supercritical antisolvent preci pitation (SAS) to
obtain microparticles of an anti-asthmatic salbutamol sulfate preparation suitable for
the production of an inhalable dosage form is studied. Depending on the concentration
of salbutamol in the starting solution, its flow rate and the pressure, spherical or needle

Key words: impregnation, supercritical carbon dioxide, EPR, spin probe method, matrixes for tissue engineering.

The spin probe technique as a version of the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR)
spectroscopy was used to reveal the regularities of the formation of porous matrixes
based on D,L-polylactide in a supercritical CO2 medium with the simultaneous
impregnation by paramagnetic biologically active test molecule 4-Hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine
1-oxyl (TEMPOL). The dependences of the average and local dopant
concentration on impregnation conditions were estimated. It was concluded that EPR
spectroscopy is a promising method for studying porous polymeric materials formed
in supercritical conditions. Impregnation of the polymer with a paramagnetic compound
allows one to estimate the uniformity of the dopant distribution in a sample on both
macroscopic and microscopic levels, and also to judge the structure of the polymer
matrix. The data obtained by EPR and optical spectroscopy showed that the resulting
matrixes meet the important requirements for porous materials for tissue engineering.

The structure and morphology of fine-crystalline barium titanate synthesized in a
subcritical water fluid at 230 °C and 2.9 MPa were studied. Barium oxide, barium hydroxide
octahydrate Ba(OH)2 ⋅ 8H2O and two modifications of titanium dioxide (rutile and

The possibility of obtaining quercetin (a natural antioxidant) from buds of Sophora
japonica
L. using subcritical water, which acts as a solvent and a reagent simultaneously
was studied. The suggested approach avoids the use of expensive and toxic organic
solvents, does not require separate extraction and hydrolysis steps and simplifies the
purification of the product. A 13-fold reduction in treatment time was achieved compared
with the traditional procedure to obtain high yield of quercetin. The loss of the target
product in the production of the dried extract was reduced.

acids by polar cosolvent (methanol) in supercritical carbon dioxide at temperature

number and location of hydroxyl groups, the substitution of hydroxyl hydrogens by
methyl groups, and the presence of ethylene group between carboxyl group and

Fluorescence microscopy was used to study the distribution of photoactive compounds
(PAC) in polymer matrixes impregnated in supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2). It
is shown that the character of the PAC distribution in polymers depends on the
nature of the matrix, the degree of interaction of the introduced compounds with
polymer fragments, and the sizes of the photoactive compounds corresponding diffusion
coefficients. Such information may be in demand for the development of functionally
oriented polymer systems impregnated with РAС (heterogeneous catalysis,
photochromic materials, medicine).

In the review, the key aspects to the modification of biocompatible materials are
described based on treatment in supercritical carbon dioxide medium. Main trends in
the area include the fabrication of three-dimensional scaffolds, sterilization of medical
devices, mammalian tissue decellularization and material impregnation with bio-active
molecules. Due to non-destructive action of the supercritical carbon dioxide medium
towards extracellular matrix’s architecture, preservation of inherent biomechanical
properties and structure of treated biomaterials, avoidance of purification and postprocessing
steps, the technique is considered as a powerful tool to solve the urgent
issues of biomaterials science.
