The solubility parameters of cellulose acrylate substituted degree 2.12 (CEA) have been calculated from the measured retention data by inverse gas chromatography at various temperatures. The weight fraction activity coefficients of the solvents at infinite dilution (Ω 1 ∞ ), the Flory-Huggins thermodynamic interaction parameters between CEA and solvents (χ ∞ 12 ), the excess molar heats of mixing (ΔH 1 s ), the partial molar heats of mixing at infinite dilution (ΔH 1 ∞ ), the solubility parameters of solvent (δ 1 ), and the solubility parameters of CEA (δ 2 ), were calculated at various temperatures. The δ 2 of the CEA was 17.32, 18.00, 18.13, 18.54, 19.39 at 55, 60, 65, 70 and 75℃, respectively. solubility parameter, cellulose acrylate, inverse gas chromatographyCellulose is one of the richest and reproducible natural polymers in the world and is applied vastly to spin, paper making, pharmacy, packing, as well as flexible liquid crystal display and separate membrane materials [1,2] . If unsaturated groups were bonded to cellulose, and then copolymerization with ethenyl monomer, one could design and synthesize the macromolecule chain-ordered membranes controlled well in three-dimension web crosslinked structure, that would have some important application in separating membranes and liquid crystal display. Whereas, one of the key technologies of forming membranes controlled well in structure is the selection of the solvents and regeneration bath of cellulose or its derivatives. The solubility parameter is an important thermodynamic parameter to characterize the polymer solution property. It has an important theoretical meaning in determining polymer dissolution behavior and character. Generally, the solubility parameter is measured by static state, for example the Swelling Method, the Viscosimetric Method, and the Turbidimetry Method. These methods not only consume time but also obtain only the thermodynamic parameters of the mixture of the polymer and the solvent. Inverse gas chromatography (IGC) has been proved to be a rapid and consistent method to study polymer-solvent interactions [3] . It is well established that weight fraction activity coefficients and heats of dilution may be derived accurately for these systems from IGC measurements [4,5] .The main focus of this work was to determine the solubility parameter of cellulose acrylate (δ 2 ), that was obtained using IGC by determining the retention time of the probe molecules used to calculate the specific retention volumes of the probe molecules, furthermore to calculate the weight fraction activity coefficients of the solvents at infinite dilution (Ω 1 ∞ ), the Flory-Huggins thermodynamic interaction parameters (χ ∞ 12 ), and the solubility parameter of the solvents (δ 1 ), from which the solubility parameters of cellulose acrylate (δ 2 ), were gained. This work not only afforded a theoretical guidance for selecting solvents of CEA, but also proved the
