Calculation of theoretical solubility parameter. The theoretical solubility parameter was calculated following the method proposed by Hoftyzer and van Krevelen. According to the group contribution principle, the solubility parameter components may be predicted using the following set of equations:

 =

∑  

;  =

∑  



and  =

∑  

(S1)

Thus, the corresponding equation for determination of solubility parameter (δ) becomes:

  =  +  +  

(S2)

The solubility parameter components δd, δp, and δh are the contributions of dispersion forces, polar forces and hydrogen bonding respectively. Fdi and Fpi are the molar attraction constants for dispersion and polar forces. Ehi is the cohesive energy for hydrogen bonding and V is molar volume of the structural unit of the polymer. Table S1 enlists values of these parameters for various structural units. Table S1. Group Contributions for Solubility Parameter Component (Reference 34)
