Ethyl cellulose is a water-insoluble hydrophobic biopolymer. Due to its excellent mechanical properties and biocompatibility, it is widely used for pharmaceutical and biomedical applications.
Application
Ethyl cellulose can be used as a precursor to prepare ink formulations for inkjet printing of flexible electronics. It acts as an effective polymer stabilizer.
