Abstract
Rheological and mechanical properties of mixtures and films of two cellulos e ethers (methylcellulose [MC] and hydroxyethylcellulose [HEC]) with polyac rylic acid (PAAc) were studied using viscometry and shear rheology, optical density measurements, and tensile testing measurements. The rheological be havior of PAAc-MC mixtures in dilute solutions was similar to that of PAAc- HEC; however, in semidilute solutions of their mixtures, differences were o bserved. The MC-PAAc films prepared from the mixtures showed a change of me chanical properties due to the formation of an interpolymer complex.
