Applications
Soluble carboxymethylcelluloses (CM-cellulose; CMC) available in varying viscosities can be used as a viscosity modifier (thickener) to stabilize emulsions, and as a chemical dispersant for oils and other carbon structures (such as nanotubes). CMC also can be used to develop biological structures such as biofilms, emulsions and nanoparticles for drug delivery.
