However, a limited number of studies have explored the interactions between MFC and cellulose derivatives in organic solvents. Most of these stud- ies have primarily focused on either the interactions between MFC and polymers in aqueous solutions. To investigate their collaborative effect, phase diagrams were constructed by varying the concentration of the constituent elements, confirming phase separa- tion, and identifying liquid-like and gel-like proper- ties through oscillatory rheological measurements. Oscillatory amplitude, frequency, oscillatory swing temperature and viscosity were performed. Addition- ally, aerogels were fabricated with and without etha- nol for microscopic analysis. It was demonstrated that ethanol significantly influences the rheological char- acteristics of MFC and MFC + HPMC dispersions, resulting in an increase in the elastic modulus (G’), decreased thixotropic behavior, and increased stabil- ity. Tests were also conducted with urea, a strongly chaotropic agent, providing evidence of the types of interactions governing the systems, and demonstrat- ing that intermolecular hydrogen bond interactions play a predominant role. aRheology aCelulose aCelulose microfibrilada aHidroalcoólico soluções aHidroxipropilmetil celulose aHydroalcoholic solutions aHydroxypropyl methylcellulose aMicrofibrillated cellulose aReologia1 aLUCIZANI, A.
