Hydroxyethyl-cellulose (HEC) stands as a water-soluble polymer derived from cellulose, a naturally occurring polymer abundantly found in plants. Commercially, Hydroxyethyl-cellulose is available in various forms, including powder, granules, and solutions. Hydroxyethyl cellulose finds application in increasing the viscosity of solutions, stabilizing proteins and enzymes, and suspending particles. The functionality of hydroxyethyl cellulose relies on the formation of a hydrogen bond network between the hydroxyethyl groups and the cellulose backbone. This network of hydrogen bonds enhances the viscosity of the solution, impeding the movement of particles within it. Additionally, this network acts as a stabilizing force, preventing particle aggregation and the formation of larger particles.
