Application

  • Thermo-responsive aqueous foams: Hydroxypropyl cellulose has been studied for its properties as a green polymer that can alter its solubility with temperature changes, making it suitable for responsive foam applications (Braunschweig, 2019).
  • Interaction mechanism in aqueous solutions: A study on the interaction between hydroxypropyl cellulose and water in solutions, focusing on the importance of polymer chain length in determining the physical properties of the solutions (Martin-Pastor and Stoyanov, 2020).
  • Corrosion inhibition: Hydroxypropyl cellulose has shown effectiveness as a corrosion inhibitor for aluminium in acidic environments, highlighting its potential in material science and engineering applications (Nwanonenyi et al., 2019).
  • Orally disintegrating films: This application involves the formulation design of hydroxypropyl cellulose films, aiming to enhance the delivery and dissolution profile of pharmaceuticals, making it significant in drug delivery and pharmaceutical sciences (Takeuchi et al., 2018).
