Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   Measurements of the solubility were made using a pressure decay method. The apparatus was similar to one designed by Koros1. Pressure was measured by a semiconductor sensor PX-1A (Tsukasu Sokken). The correction for compressibility of gas phase was introduced.

Source and Purity of Materials:
   PVA (Aldrich Chemical Co) had "viscosity" average molecular weight 158,000 and glass transition temperature 303 K. The purity of carbon dioxide (Chugoku Teisan) was 99.9 %.

Estimated Errors:
