supercritical drying has distinct advantages in generating microcellular materials . the dimensional stability of the polymer is not affected on drying because the supercritical process does not go through the two phase path and therefore the effect of capillary forces is absent . this helps in maintaining the morphology of the final polymer structure and better control over cell size . organic microcellular foams were prepared by polymerizing directly in a near - critical fluid and pursuing the supercritical drying in the same reactor . the critical variables are the choice of a diluent with a strong enough solvent power to stabilize the polymer matrix , but with a low enough critical temperature to permit critical point drying without damage to the polymer matrix .
