Carboxyl methyl cellulose (CMC) is a cellulose derivative that is being used in many industries such as food packaging. This study evaluates the parameter region i.e., NaOH concentration, sodium monochloroacetate (SMCA) ratio, etherification temperature, and time for higher degree of substitution (D...
