| Abstract | Natural polyphenolic compounds show interesting complexation behavior with various macromolecules due to their unique structural characteristics that enables molecular transition such as electronic delocalization and conjugation and intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonding. Here, we report on the preparation and characterization of novel colloidal complexes (size range of 56–116 nm) based on the spontaneous interactions of a small molecular weight polyphenol (tannic acid) with an industrially relevant macromolecule (methylcellulose). The binding stoichiometry obtained from isothermal titration calorimetry suggested that 33 molecules of tannic acid were bound to one molecule of polymer. The values of ΔH (−11.4 kJ mol−1) and ΔS (−35.5 J K−1 mol−1) suggested that the interaction was enthalpy driven and the relatively low value of ΔH further indicated the non-covalent nature (i.e. hydrophobic interaction and hydrogen bonding) of the interaction. Effects of this complexation on the functionalities of methylcellulose were investigated in terms of the loss of thermoreversible gelling (due to the irreversible association of colloidal complexes at high temperature), improvement of the emulsifying property (because of the interfacial localization of hydrophobic colloidal complexes further contributing to the gelling of the interfacial film) and enhancement of the foam stabilizing property (based on the absorption of colloidal complexes on the air–water interface and resulting enhancement of the interfacial stiffness due to surface gelation invoked by the colloidal complexes). These findings will be of wide interest to researchers and industrial scientists working in the field of polymer chemistry and material science, especially because methylcellulose is one of the most commonly used polymers for a range of industrial applications. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
