What is Solvation of poly(methyl acrylate) and poly(vinyl acetate) by CO2 studied via atomistic Monte Carlo simulation techniques about?

## Abstract The differences in solubility of poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) and poly(methyl acrylate) (PMA) were addressed by applying atomistic Monte Carlo simulation techniques. Polymer segments consisting of nine monomer units serve as model compounds for polymer chains. As a measure of intermolecular interactions with the solvent environment, cohesion energies of the polymer segments embedded in either the corresponding monomer or in CO~2~ were calculated. Only in case of PMA segments in CO~2~ environment, specific interactions between polymer segments were identified. This finding is in agreement with experimental results on phase behaviour and propagation kinetics.
