CPS Talk - Sir Martyn Poliakoff on Supercriticality: Blue Fluid to Green Chemistry

This lecture describes how I became fascinated in supercritical fluids (SCFs), which are gases such as CO2, compressed until they are nearly as dense as liquids. SCFs display an unusual combination of some of the properties of gases and liquids. I explain how SCFs led me to work in Green Chemistry, developing cleaner, more sustainable ways of making chemicals and materials. I also show how chance played a big role in determining how things developed for me and led me to the interface of chemistry and engineering. I thank all of my students, coworkers, collaborators, technicians and collaborators, particularly Professor Mike George, for all of their help and support. I also that all of the organisations that have funded my research.
