Article: Fabrication of fine microcapsulated red phosphorus particles by SCF-RESS with a new structure nozzle.

Abstract A novel process of preparing microencapsulated red phosphorus particles by rapid expansion of supercritical fluids (RESS) was tested, in which a new kind of nozzle and supercritical [CO.sub.2] as a solvent were used. The structure of the microencapsulated red phosphorus particles were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). These results show that red phosphorus particles can be effectively encapsulated with paraffin by using the method. At the same time, how the moisture absorption ratio of microencapsulated red phosphorus particles was dependent on the experimental conditions was further investigated. The ...
