Viscosity is an important
and fundamental physical property of fluids as it is physically
expressed in transportation phenomenon such as momentum of flow.
Dynamic properties of solutions are commonly influenced by their
static microscopic structures; however, these structures are
difficult to deduce from their dynamic properties.
Sodium
carboxylmethylcellulose (CMC) is a polymer substance popularly used
in food and cosmetics, as well as in the agricultural, chemical and
biological engineering fields due to its relatively high viscosity in
aqueous solution and environmentally friendly nature.1 Several
researchers have investigated the properties of CMC and have
published in this and other journals. Those studies have revealed the
effectiveness of CMC as an additive, a substrate, a blending
material, a stabilizer, a binder, a scaffold material, etc.
