Abstract

Compounds with strong thermodynamic affinity for carbon dioxide (CO₂) have been designed and synthesized that dissolve in CO₂, then associate to form gels. Upon removal of the CO₂, these gels produced free-standing foams with cells with an average diameter smaller than 1 micrometer and a bulk density reduction of 97 percent relative to the parent material.
