Abstract
Propyl methyl cellulose with varied number of propyl groups was synthesized from water-soluble methyl cellulose. The rheological properties of aqueous solutions of methyl cellulose and propyl methyl cellulose and the conditio ns of their phase separation were studied by turbidimetry. The effect of pr opyl groups on gelation in the investigated aqueous solutions was investiga ted.
