Thickening and Thixotropy of Cellulose Ether

Comprehensive Analysis of Thickening and Thixotropy of Cellulose Ether(1) Consistency can also be adjusted by choosing particle size and choosing cellulose ethers with different degrees of modification. The so-called modification is to introduce a certain degree of substitution of hydroxyalkyl groups on the skeleton structure of MC. By changing the relative substitution values of the

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
