Transport of the gaseous species from the donor to the acceptor stream depends on several parameters, e.g., temperature, ionic strength, surface tension, contact time between the solutions and the semi-permeable medium, the characteristics of this medium (active surface, porosity, thickness), the partition coefficient between the fluid and the membrane,... 

Metals are large atoms that tend to lose electrons to form positive ions or form positive oxidation states. To emphasize their loose hold on their electrons and the fluid-like nature of their valence electrons, metals are often described as atoms in a sea of electrons. The easy movement of electrons within metals gives them their metallic character. Metallic character includes ductility (easily stretched), malleability (easily hammered into thin strips), thermal and electrical conductivity, and a characteristic luster. Metal atoms easily slide past each other allowing metals to be hammered into thin sheets or drawn into wires. Electrons move easily from one metal atom to the next transferring energy or charge in the form of heat or electricity. All metals but mercury exist as solids at room temperature. Metals typically form ionic oxides such as BaO, (BeO is one exception that is not ionic.)... 

The properties of fluids under supercritical conditions are considered ideal for extracting substances from exhausted activated carbons. Two supercritical fluids are of particular interest, carbon dioxide and water. Carbon dioxide has a low critical temperature of 304 K and a moderate critical pressure of 73 bar, while water has a critical temperature of 647 K and a critical pressure of 220 bar. The character of water at supercritical conditions changes from one that supports only ionic species at ambient conditions to one that dissolves paraffins, aromatics, gases and salts [65]. These supercritical fluids exhibit densities similar to those of liquids (high solvent strengths) and diffusion coefficients similar to those of gases (excellent transport characteristics), enabling them to effectively dissolve and/or desorb contaminants from the carbon surface and to easily enter/exit even the smallest pores and carry away any... 

Many reviews had shown the importance of IL such as in supercritical fluid applications by Seda Keskin et al. [54]. Measurements of thermochemical properties of imidazolium-based ionic liquid (ILs) carried out has been reported [55]. Tamar L. Greaves et al. [56] explained the properties and applications of protic ILs. Revisiting characteristics of ILs are explained by Rusen Feng [57]. Recently, room-temperature ILs are being used as lubricants [58], i.e., tribology, because ILs possess excellent properties such as non-volatihty, nonflammabiUty, and thermo-oxidative stability. 

By setting the appropriate pressure and temperature conditions one can tune solvation properties to affect reaction rates and chemical equilibria. For example, as illustrated in Figure 15.1, by changing state parameters one can reduce the static dielectric constant of water to a value characteristic for low-polar solvents. Supercritical water (SW) may substitute toxic organic solvents, such as acetone ( 25 = 20.7) or benzene ( 25 = 2.3). In contrast to ambient water, supercritical fluid is a poor solvent for ionic species but is well miscible with hydrocarbons and gases. 

Abstract The electrostatic Layer-by-Layer (LbL) technique allows the fabrication of polyelectrolyte multilayers that can be considered as a special type of interpolyelectrolyte complexes supported by a template (fluid or soUd). The main characteristic that confers special interest to these interpolyelectrolyte complexes is the simplicity and versatility of the method used for their fabrication, although in some cases this may hide the complex influence of the different physico-chemical variables. The possibility to change ionic strength, pH, temperature, etc. and/or the composition makes possible to control the properties and structure of these systems. Furthermore, the compositional and structural richness of these systems opens multiple possibilities for the fabrication of nano-structured materials with tailored properties for numerous applications (from optical to nanomedical devices). This chapter deal with the physico-chemical background of the fabrication of supramolecular films by the LbL method as well as the key properties that should be managed in order to obtain functional materials following this approach.
