Silicone-functional analogs to conventional surfactants have been synthesized, and their phase behavior in carbon dioxide explored at 65°C and room temperature. In agreement with work by other researchers, we have observed that these silicone amphiphiles exhibited UCST type behavior in CO 2, such th...
