Titania nanospheres from supercritical fluids

IEE Proc Nanobiotechnol. 2005 Jun;152(3):109-11. doi: 10.1049/ip-nbt:20045005.

Abstract

Surfactant-coated amorphous titania nanospheres have been synthesised using templating 'water-in-supercritical carbon dioxide' emulsion droplets; the process represents a clean and controlled method for the manufacture of high-purity nanoparticles.
