In this study, thermal behavior of aqueous solutions of methyl cellulose (MC) at a constant temperature of 50°C was analyzed. Various samples were studied for two consecutive heating–cooling cycles. The experiments with the solutions prepared using cold de-ionized (DI) water showed that the rate of...
