 Supercritical fluid (SCF) is defined as "non-compressible and high density fluid". The

temperarure and pressure are higher than critical temperature (Tc) and critical pressure (Pc)

they are proper to fluids. SCF has high thermal motion, and it is possible to change the density

widely (from low like a gas to high like a liquid), therefore we can control many properties whose

function is expressed by density. Comparing the liquid, SCF's properties are greatly influenced

on the slight pressure change, in other words, it is possible to control the properties as solvent

just using one fluid.
