ʻO HPMC, a i ʻole Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, ʻaʻole ia he surfactant ma ke ʻano koʻikoʻi o ka huaʻōlelo. ʻO nā mea hoʻoheheʻe he mau molekole i loaʻa nā hopena hydrophilic (aloha wai) a me ka hydrophobic (water-repelling), a hoʻohana ʻia lākou e hoʻemi i ka ʻili o ka ʻili ma waena o ʻelua mau wai immiscible a i ʻole ma waena o kahi wai a me kahi paʻa. Hoʻohana pinepine ʻia nā Surfactants ma nā ʻano ʻoihana like ʻole, me nā huahana hoʻomaʻemaʻe, nā huahana mālama pilikino, a me nā lāʻau lapaʻau, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe.

Ma kekahiʻaoʻao,ʻo HPMC he polymer-based cellulose i hoʻohanaʻia i nāʻano likeʻole, e like me nā lāʻau lapaʻau, nā meaʻai, a me nā huahana mālama pilikino, a me nā mea'ē aʻe. Hana ʻia ʻo HPMC e ka cellulose hoʻololi kemika, he polymer maoli i loaʻa i nā mea kanu. ʻO ka mea kikoʻī, hana ʻia ka HPMC ma ka hoʻololi ʻana i kekahi o nā pūʻulu hydroxyl i cellulose me nā hui methyl a hydroxypropyl paha. ʻO ka polymer hopena he wai-soluble a hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia e like me kahi mānoanoa, binder, emulsifier, a stabilizer, ma waena o nā hana ʻē aʻe.

ʻOiai ʻaʻole ia he surfactant, hiki i ka HPMC ke hōʻike i nā waiwai like me ka surfactant i kekahi mau noi. No ka laʻana, hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia ka HPMC no ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i nā emulsions, ʻo ia ka hui ʻana o ʻelua wai immiscible, ma ka hana ʻana i kahi papa pale a puni nā kulu o kekahi wai i loko o kekahi wai. Hiki i kēia papa ke pale i nā kulu mai ka hui ʻana a me ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana mai ke koena o ka hui. Ma kēia ala, hiki i ka HPMC ke hana ma ke ʻano he emulsifier, ʻo ia ke ʻano o ka surfactant.

Eia kekahi, hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia ka HPMC e hōʻemi i ka ʻili o ka wai, kahi waiwai o nā surfactants. No ka laʻana, hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia ka HPMC ma ke ʻano he uhi ma luna o nā ʻili paʻa i mea e hoʻonui ai i ka hydrophilic, hiki ke hoʻonui i ko lākou mau waiwai pulu. Ma kēia noi, hiki i ka HPMC ke hoʻemi i ka ʻili o ka wai ma ka ʻili i uhi ʻia, hiki ke hoʻomaikaʻi i ka pili ʻana o nā wai a i ʻole nā ​​​​mea paʻa i ka ʻili.

ʻO ka holoʻokoʻa, ʻoiai ʻaʻole he surfactant ʻo HPMC i ke ʻano koʻikoʻi o ka huaʻōlelo, hiki iā ia ke hōʻike i nā waiwai like me ka surfactant i kekahi mau noi. ʻO ka HPMC he polymer maʻamau i hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia i nā ʻano ʻoihana like ʻole, a ʻo kāna mau waiwai kūʻokoʻa e lilo ia i mea waiwai nui i nā ʻano hana he nui.
