Abstract
⺠Hydroxypropylation of alpha cellulose isolated from Lantana camara was carried out with propyleneoxide in presence of sodium hydroxide under different reaction conditions. ⺠Variables studied were concentrations of sodium hydroxide and propyleneoxide, reaction temperature and time. ⺠The degree of substitution (DS) and apparent viscosity (η) were determined. ⺠The optimized product exhibited cold-water solubility and a clear solution in aqueous medium suggesting interesting rheological properties. ⺠The optimized product was also further evaluated with IR, SEM, TGA/DTA and WAXDs.
