Any one please explain the alternative and easy method to purify and filter the synthesized polymer that doesnot gets filter through ordinary filter papaer.
Generally speaking, most polymers are either non-crystalline "amorphous" or semi-crystalline "containing a significant amount of disordered domains". For this reason, purification of polymers is not usually done by crystallization in a similar way to that done on simple solid organic compounds.
Purification by precipitation is widespread on laboratory-scale & on industrial-scale. This method starts by selecting a proper solvent and then dissolving the polymeric sample in a minimum amount of this solvent. When dissolution is complete, an excess amount of a non-solvent {one which does not dissolve the polymer} is added with vigorous stirring. The polymer will precipitate out & it can be filtered smoothly.
To exemplify, assume that the polymer to be purified is polystyrene (PS). A number of solvents can dissolve it properly but I used to suggest to my students (in Great Britain long time ago) to select toluene. After the polymer is dissolved, the non-solvent of PS will obviously be a polar one. There are many non-solvents but I used to suggest methanol & it worked very well.
If the polymeric solution has a total volume of 100 mL, then one may use 300 mL of the non-solvent. After filtration, the solvent/non-solvent mixture is subjected to separation (e,g, by distillation) and most of these liquids are recovered for re-use.
