The method is well established and there are many books and articles on how such calculations should be conducted. But all I can find is works on polymer blends or polymer/drug conjugates and nothing on polymer/solvent systems.
If I'm not mistaken you can find some polymer/solvent Hildebrandt parameter in the "Polymer Handbook" (J. Brandrup, E.H. Immergut, E.A. Grulke)
Hi Abolfazl,
We recently published some work on calculating the Flory-Huggins interaction parameters of short-chain polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) fragments with the solvents methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) and isopropyl alcohol (IPA). You may find this on my profile or on the URL below:

Btw, Phillip Choi's book on Polymer Science and Engineering (2013) also has a chapter on polymer solutions, as does Rubinstein's 2003 book.
Please also see further details in your inbox.
Hi Abolfazi,
we have recent;y published a work on the solubility of P3ATs in THF. We have calculated the FH interaction parameters via model potential molecular dynamics simulations. You will find also a brief summary of the theory behind the method in the Supporting Information.
You can find the paper here: http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/ma401345n

I think you can find some anwsers about your inquiry in the following article.
