Dear CCL'ers

Could anyone of you send me pointers on calculated structures of EVA
copolymers, polyalkyl acrylates/methacrylates,  Ethylyne, vinyl acetate,
isobutylene terpolymers.  Do they exist at all in litera ture?  I did find
some studies on poly alkyl acrylates but that is all.  What is the best way
(level of theory, etc) to calculate the structure of a "unit cell" of e.g.
Polyoctadecyl acrylate?

Thanks in anticipation
