Phase behaviour of methylcellulose–poly(acrylic acid) blends and preparation of related hydrophilic films

Abstract: The phase behavior of methylcellulose‐poly(acrylic acid) mixtures was studied in aqueous solution. It was shown that the complexation between the two polymers decreases considerably the cloud‐point of methylcellulose. The addition of inorganic salts shifts the critical pH values toward a higher pH region. Films were prepared based on methylcellulose‐poly(acrylic acid) blends and were analyzed by dynamic mechanical thermal analysis, scanning electron microscopy and thermal gravimetric analysis. The miscibility … Show more

“…The cross-linked films can be prepared even by thermal treatment at 80 8C and 100 8C, which is probably due to the occurrence of an intermacromolecular esterification reaction between carboxylic groups of PMVEMAc and hydroxyl groups of HEC. Similar thermal cross-linking has been reported for the blends of poly(acrylic acid) with methylcellulose, [14] hydroxyethylcellulose, [26] and poly(2-hydroxyethyl vinyl ether). [27] The variation in temperature as well as the thermal treatment time allows preparing the hydrogel films with the required degree of swelling characteristics.…”

“…Specific interactions have also been reported in blends between poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) and various water-soluble polysaccharides. [3,[10][11][12][13][14][15] Complete miscibility as a rule is attributed to the strong intermacromolecular hydrogen bonding between the component polymers. Studies on blends of water-soluble polysaccharides and carboxylic acid copolymers containing the groups, which are not able to form hydrogen bonds, are quite limited.…”

“…[2,3] During the last few years the researcher's interest have been caught by the intermacromolecular associations between synthetic/natural polymers e.g., poly(acrylic acid) with methyl, hydroxyethyl or hydroxypropyl cellulose. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10] The ability of some copolymers of maleic acid with different co-monomers i.e., vinyl acetate, acrylic acid and styrene to form interpolymeric complexes with hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) was studied. [11] The investigation of the interpolymer complex (IPC) formation between a synthetic polymer and a biological macromolecule could be a stage further in macromolecular association studies both from theoretical and experimental point of view.…”

“…34 It is probably that the ester formation during the crosslinking reaction of PAA-KGM blends occurs only to a minor extent. So, it is possible that insoluble films would be made without chemical or physical crosslinking procedures, which has potential application in biomedicine field.…”
