Comprehensive Analysis of Thickening and Thixotropy of Cellulose Ether(1)
The thickening effect of cellulose ether depends on: the degree of polymerization of cellulose ether, solution concentration, shear rate, temperature and other conditions. The gelling property of the solution is unique to alkyl cellulose and its modified derivatives. The gelation properties are related to the degree of substitution, solution concentration and additives. For hydroxyalkyl modified
