The surface treated hydroxypropyl methylcellulose(HPMC) which could adjust the soluble time was synthesized when 40 wt % glyoxal solution and KH2PO4were sprayed and reacted. And also, the solution dynamic at different ratios of two adding agents were identified If the surface of HPMC was treated with only glyoxal, the dispersion characteristics at different ratios of two adding agents were identified If the surface of HPMC was treated with only glyoxal, the dispersion was observed in the neutral solution and the viscosity was increased after directly dissolved as the solution become alkali condition. But the fine-powder type of HPMC which reacted with glyoxal and KH2PO4was dispersed regardless of pH of solution and observed that it was dissolved and its viscosity increased after elapsing some time. With increasing amount of glyoxal and KH2PO4, the soluble time was delayed. The reaction condition was about 60 min at 75-85 ℃. Especially, the removal process of organic solvent after reaction was not required due to reaction under water solution without organic during glyoxal and KH2PO4treatment. And also, the HPMC which could adjust the soluble rate in water or organic solvent by changing the degree of substitution of HPMC was synthesized.

합성 셀룰로오스 에테르류의 일종인 하이드록시프로필 메틸셀루로오스(HPMC)에 40 wt % glyoxal 용액과 KH2PO4를 혼합, 용해시키고, HPMC의 표면에 분사, 반응시켜 알카리용액에서도 녹는 시간(용해속도)을 조절할 수 있는 표면처리된 HPMC를 제조하였고, 두 물질의 첨가비율을 달리하였을 때 나타나는 용해특성을 규명하였다. 순수한 HPMC류의 표면을 가교제인 glyoxal로 처리하면 중성의 용액에서는 분산을 일으키고, 용액을 알카리화 함으로써 즉시 용해되어 점성을 나타내나, 소량의 안산염을 동시에 첨가 반응시킨 미세분말상태의 HPMC는 용액의 액성에 관계없이 분산이 되고 일정시간 경과한 후에 급속히 용해되어 점성을 나타내게 되는 성질을 알 수 있었다. Glyoxal과 KH2PO4처리에서 유기용매를 사용하지 않고 수용액 상태로 반응시킴으로써 반응후 유기용매의 제거공정이 필요 없게 되었고, 또한 HPMC의 반응 치환도를 변화함으로써 수용액뿐 아니라 유기용제에서도 용해속도를 조절할 수 있는 HPMC를 얻을수 있었다
