STABILIZED MICROFIBRILLAR CELLULOSE

摘要

A derivatized microfibrillar cellulose, derivatized to contain a substituent that provides cationic charge. A method for producing a derivatized microfibrillar cellulose to include a substituent that provides cationic charge, which may include derivatizing a microfibrillar cellulose to obtain a derivatized microfibrillar cellulose, microfibrillizing a derivatized non-microfibrillar cellulose to produce a derivatized microfibrillar cellulose, or microfibrillizing and derivatizing a non-microfibrillar cellulose substantially simultaneously. A method of modifying the rheological properties of a composition of matter using derivatized microfibrillar cellulose. Methods of improving coatings, paper manufacture, and the stability of emulsions, dispersions, and foams using a derivatized microfibrillar cellulose. Compositions that include derivatized microfibrillar cellulose, including paper compositions, comestible compositions, non-comestible spreadable compositions, and emulsions, dispersion, and foams.
