After synthesizing a polymer grafted TiO2 nanoparticles, I subjected the PGNPs to cleavage experiment to get the polymer and did carefully centrifugation to remove to TiO2 but
NMR could not run the cleaved polymer because the ATMA keep failing and it detected 20% TiO2 in my sample. Please how can I get ride of the 5nm TiO2 in the solution?
Dear Ikeoluwa Apata
In this regard, you can take help from the article "Modified Titanium Dioxide for Photocatalytic Applications". It has the data and relevant information which you might be interested. Please view this article via:

Dear all, have tried to dissolve it ? It is a way sometimes done for purification to get rid of TiO2. Please have a look at the following. My Regards

Dear all, the link given by Pervaiz Ahmad through correct, it leads to an out of subject document. I attached the document in question and it is free to download. My Regards
Dear all, After digestion in THF containing HF and centrifuged. I was able get rid of the TiO2 and recover the pure polymer by re dissolving the cleaved polymer in THF again and kept for a longtime centrifugation( 45 mins) followed by a careful decantation.
Thank you so much everyone.
