Article Synopsis
- * Emulgels were produced at fixed polymer concentrations, and their stability, microstructure, and rheology were analyzed to assess their potential as effective oil carriers.
- * Results showed that the emulgels maintained their structure over time, demonstrated good thermal stability, and had a significant ability to retain oil, suggesting promising applications in the field.
Thermal and rheological properties of methylcellulose (MC) and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) hydrogels with chitosan (CHI) were investigated to verify the potential application of these blends as structured systems for oil transport (emulgel, oleogels, and bigels). FTIR confirmed hydrophobic interactions of cellulosic polymers with chitosan. In the temperature sweep, the thermosensitive hydrogels showed their reduced gel point compared to the original polymers.
