Hydroxyl propyl methyl cellulose

Another class of gluten substitute is the modified celluloses dimethyl-glyoxime cellulose and hydroxyl propyl methyl cellulose 1.6% of... 

The ionotropic gelation technique utilizes other polymers to a lesser extent these are proteins such as gelatin and egg whites, semisynthetic polymers like hydroxyl propyl methyl cellulose, and synthetic polymers like polyacrylamides. 

Insoluble inserts are polymeric systems into which the drug is incorporated as a solution or dispersion. Ophthalmic inserts (ocuserts) have been reported using alginate salts, poly(A-vinyl pyrrol-idone), modified collagen, and hydroxyl propyl methyl cellulose. Ocufit is a silicone elastomer-based matrix that allows for the controlled release of an active ingredient over a period of at least 2 weeks. Osmotically controlled inserts have also been described, where release is by diffusion and is osmotically controlled.

Of the methods of synthesis of cellulose esters, the one that has been most thoroughly studied is the reaction of trans-esterification, and this method is widely used for the synthesis of low-molecular-weight esters. The alcoholysis of a low-molecular-weight ester (methyl- and n -propyl-borate) with hydroxyl groups of cellulose was first used (37) for die preparation of cellulose borate. This was followed by the trans-esterification, with cellulose, of the esters of phosphorous acids (see above), i.e. mono-, di- and trimethylphosphites (71, 72, 75), esters of phosphonic acids (76), and also phenyl-/ -chloroethyl- and / -fluoroethylphosphites (77, 78). Of considerable interest is the reaction of alcoholysis, with cellulose, of the esters of aryl- and naphthalenesulphonic add, which results in the formation of cellulose ethers, rather than esters (79-81). 

In bonding wood, the reaction of isocyanate groups with the numerous hydroxyl groups that are present in the various components of wood—cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin—is possible. The product of this chemical reaction with wood is the urethane bond as shown in Reaction I. Methyl, ethyl, propyl, and butyl isocyanates... 

This section will cover blends of polymers, both exhibiting water solubihty. Many of the water soluble polymers have been noted in earher sections in this chapter to exhibit misci-bihty with non-water soluble polymers. These water soluble polymers include poly(ethylene oxide), poly(N-vinyl pyrollidone), poly(vinyl amine), polyacrylamide, poly(N,N-dimethyl acrylamide poly(acryhc acid), poly(methacrylic acid), poly(ethyl oxazohne), poly(styrene sulfonic acid), poly(vinyl pyridine), poly(vinyl alcohol), hydroxyl ethyl ceUulose, hydroxy propyl cellulose, carboxy methyl ceUulose, poly(itaconic acid) and poly(ethyleneimine) (several structures shown below).
