In this paper, we study bubble nucleation and growth in a poly(methyl methacrylate) and CO 2 mixture by molecular dynamics simulations. It is known in the foaming industry that the bubble size has a more uniform distribution with a higher start-up pressure. The real physical reason remains unclear. In this work, we found that the free volume-rich polymer segments could adsorb many small-size bubbles in the region close to the polymer chain. The existence of these small bubbles limits the number of free CO 2 molecules, which is helpful for bubble stabilization. Moreover, the free volume of polymer segments decreases with an increase of the start-up pressure. As a result, the size of the large bubbles becomes more uniform with a higher startup pressure.
