Thermal and Structural of Methyl Cellulose

Article Preview

Abstract:

The present study aims to investigate the physicochemical properties of the methyl cellulose. The information of this investigate has been used to reference in preparing biodegradable film. It was observed that the Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) spectroscopy show the hydrogen bond’s formation and the Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) show the chemical and level of the composition element, which Copper (Cu) has the highest accumulate. Another that, the XRD spectra which investigated by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) show the methyl cellulose had lowered crystalline. Another that, the Thermo-Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) was used to investigate the effect of heating and influence of thermal.
