I am trying to make polymeric membranes by phase inversion method. I am using N N dimethyl formamide (DMF) (98.5%) as the solvent. I have tried to make the membranes by taking polypropylene, polyaniline and polystyrene polymers at 80:20 ratio (wt%) of the solvent to polymer and stirred it overnight by magnetic stirrer (rpm 120) at 60 oC. But none of the polymers are dissolving in the solvent totally by making a gel so that I can use phase inversion to form the membranes. I am not being able to understand the problems associated with that. Please help me by giving some suggestions. Please help me!!!
