Methylcellulose, a Cellulose Derivative with Original Physical Properties and Extended Applications 1. Introduction Chemically modified polymers have been extensively investigated in order to develop new biomaterials with innovating physic–chemical properties. Important classes of modified polymers are cellulose ethers, such as methylcellulose (MC), hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC), hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC) and carboxymethylcellulose (CMC). Cellulose is the most abundant polysaccharide.. read more →
