Miscibility Study of Chitosan and Methylcellulose Blends

Article Preview

Abstract:

The miscibility of chitosan / methylcellulose (CH/MC) blends was studied by FT IR, wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and scanning electronic microscopy (SEM). The regular changes of FT IR and WAXD spectra of CH/MC blend powder indicated the miscibility of the blends. TGA curves and SEM images of cross-sections of the blends films showed partly miscibility.
