Polymer additives were extracted with supercritical carbon dioxide and collected in a microtrap. The collected samples were separated by microcolumn liquid chromatography. Polymer samples down to the sub-milligram level were handled without loss of extract. Information about the distribution of addi

Abstract
Analysis of low concentration polymer additives has been a challenging problem. The commonly used methods of analysis involve the initial extraction of polymer additives with solvents, often in a Soxhlet apparatus, followed by liquid, size exclusion, or gas chromatography. This paper describes the onβline superβcritical fluid extraction (SFE)βsupercritical fluid chromatographic (SFC) determination of different additives from low density polyethylene. Cryogenic collection was used as an interface between SFE and SFC to focus the extraction eluate before transfer to an analytical SFC column for quantitative analysis.

## Abstract Polymer additives were extracted from polyethylene with supercritical carbon dioxide. The twoβfilm theory, which considers mass transfer across a phase boundary, is applied to qualitatively describe the kinetics of mass transfer from the core of the polymer particles into the supercriti
## Abstract A key feature differentiating analytical supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) from conventional liquid extraction is the possibility of varying the solvent strength of a supercritical fluid to achieve selective extractions of specific target compounds, or functional classes of compound,
A simple method has been developed for the direct coupling of supercritical fluid extractions (SFE) with a high resolution gas chromatograph (HRGC) equipped withan electron capturedetector (ECD). SFE conditions have been investigated for polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) from sediments in terms of mo
