Metallopolymer nanocomposites has attracted much attention recently. The impregnation of organometallic compound from the supercritical solution into the polymer matrix has several advantages. The impregnation process isotherm of bis(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedionato) (1,5-cyclooctadiene) ruthenium (II) (Ru(cod)(tmhd)2) into polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) film in supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) was investigated. The experiments for determining the isotherm were carried out at 40 °C and 10.34 MPa. It was found that the impregnation isotherm is linear up to the saturation concentration of the precursor in scCO2fluid phase. The slope of the linear curve defined equilibrium partition coefficient K provides a measure of the partitioning of Ru(cod)(tmhd)2between the PDMS film and scCO2fluid phase and it is constant under the same conditions. It showed that K is mainly govered by the density of scCO2and does not change much with temperature at a constant density of scCO2.

How many nanoparticles can we load in a fiber? How much will leak? Underlying is the relatively new question of the “space available” in fibers for nanoparticle loading. Here, using supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) as a carrier fluid, we explored the impregnation in four Indian silks (Mulberry, Eri, Muga, and Tasar) with five standard sizes of gold nanoparticles (5, 20, 50, 100 and 150 nm in diameter). All silks could be permanently impregnated with nanoparticles up to 150 nm in size under scCO2 impregnation. Accompanying structural changes indicated that the amorphous silk domains reorganized to accommodate the gold NPs. The mechanism was studied in detail in degummed Mulberry silk fibers (i.e., without the sericin coating) with the 5 nm nanoparticle. The combined effects of concentration, time of impregnation, scCO2 pressure, and temperature showed that only a narrow set of conditions allowed for permanent impregnation without deterioration of the properties of the silk fibers.
