Research Interest

1. Supercritical Fluid Technology (Particulate, Dispersion)

The major research efforts focus on the formation and dispersion of nano- or micrometric particles. The micronization method by supercritical assisted atomization (SAA) has been applied in several materials, included PMMA and derived-copolymer, chitosan and mannitol. The dispersion method by supercritical fluid assisted dispersion (SFAD) has been applied in pigments, included red 177, green 36, blue 15:6, yellow 139, and violet23.

2. Dispersion polymerization

Monodispersed PMMA particle and composite particle containing pigment were prepared via a dispersion polymerization process.

3. Kinetics of Esterification

Kinetics behavior study on the synthesis of propyl levulinate over heterogeneous catalyst.
