Resumen:

This chapter provides an overview of the state of the art on emerging technologies with potential use in the production of polymeric materials. The design of new polymerization processes must be carried out on the basis of promoting both energy savings and reduction of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and implementing the principles of green chemistry. The addressed technologies in this chapter include the use of alternative solvents for polymer synthesis (e.g., supercritical CO2 (scCO2) and ionic liquids (ILs)), the preparation of polymer composites based on ILs, as well as the use of microreactor and alternative energy technologies. Given the fact that some of the new polymerization processes emphasized in this chapter involve the use of compressed fluids, a subsection of this chapter is devoted to expand some of the key concepts of phase behavior of polymer systems in high pressure systems (mainly associated with scCO2). © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
