Abstract
We discuss the presence of both dynamical chaos and signals of a second--order phase transition in numerical Vlasov simulations of nuclear multifragmentation. We find that chaoticity and criticality are strongly related and play a crucial role in the process of fragments formation. This connection is not limited to our model and seems a rather general feature.
