This study is focused on the viscosity behavior of the aqueous solution of the CMC prepared in a two phase medium C 6H 6 C 2H 5OH H 2O.The effects of properties such as the degree of substitution,molecular weight,distribution of substituent along the molecular chain or at positions C 2,C 3 and C 6 on viscosity are investigated respectively.The difference of the CMC synthesized in medium benzene ethanol and ethanol is studied.The addition of benzene is beneficial to improve the viscosity and stability of CMC solutions.The CMC with homogeneous distribution of substituent along the chain and the high substitution at position C 6 possess a good compatibility with organic acids and excellent resistance to alkali,salts and acid.
