Abstract

The viscosity of cellulose behaves differently and uniquely in various conditions. In this paper, we aim to report the viscosity measurement and related properties of low concentration of microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) in water using a magnetic bearing rheometer. Dynamic viscosities for MCC diluted in water at varying concentrations were measured using the standard rheometry technique. The viscosity of the MCC solution was found highly dependent on its concentration and the experiment temperature. This varieties behaviour and properties offers benefits to the current growing rapidly technology applications such as in food, pharmaceutical cosmetics and textile.
