Abdelkader BOUAZIZ Popular answer

Dear Sadia Tm, the question is a litle bit ambigous! What is this polymer ? Is it hygroscopic? If so, I think it has more affinity to DMSO compared to water, which means water is excluded out of the mixture (I assumed DMSO is dry). My Regards

Abdelkader BOUAZIZ

Sadia Tm

Abdelkader BOUAZIZ thank you for your answer, i have a question here if yes my polymer is hygroscopic, what i should do?

You have to dry it before the preparation of the solution.

Steve Law

Dear Sadia

DMSO can also contain fairly significant amounts of water (mentioned above). Better polymer solutions often result if you dry the DMSO - a simple way is to store it over suitable molecular sieves.
