Phase Behavior of Oxygen-Containing Polymers in CO2
TL;DR: In this paper, the cloud point curves of a series of oxygen-containing polymers in CO2 were measured to deduce the effect of oxygen functional groups within a polymer on the polymer/CO2 phase behavior.

Observation of a One-Dimensional Adsorption Site on Carbon Nanotubes: Adsorption of Alkanes of Different Molecular Lengths
TL;DR: A series of linear chain alkanes from pentane to nonane, as well as a branched alkane molecule, 2,2,4-trimethylpentane, were used to elucidate the effect of molecular length on the capacity of the adsorption sites.

TL;DR: These oligomers and polymers represent new additions to the very short list of nonfluorous CO2-soluble polymers, however, none of these are more soluble than poly(vinyl acetate), which exhibits the highest CO2 solubility of any known polymer containing only the elements C, H, and O.

TL;DR: In this article, supercritical carbon dioxide was used as a reaction medium to synthesize statistically random (i.e., no specific correlation between the location of the monomers on the polymer) copolymers of tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) and vinyl acetate (VAc) with similar molar mass and 11.6−63.3 mol % TFE content.

Influence of tert-amine groups on the solubility of polymers in CO2
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the lack of solubility of amine-containing polymers in CO2 is a direct result of strong polymer-polymer interactions and that the moiety self-interactions are typically more favorable than the CO2-moiety interactions.
