Can I solubilize all type of polymers in DMSO?
® As other solvents, DMSO can not solubilized all type of polymers. As this is the case for N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), dimethylformamide (DMF) or dimethylacetamide (DMAc), DMSO gets aprotic and polar characteristics. This gives DMSO the ability to dissolve a wide range of polymers but in a safer way that toxic solvents.
