Hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC)/polyethylene glycol (PEG) blends are edible polymer films used for food packing and directly in foodstuffs. However, they are water-soluble in ordinary temperature and have good mechanical properties. The miscibility of HPMC/PEG blend in water was studied by viscosity, ultrasonic velocity, density and refractive index techniques at 30 and 50 degrees C. Using viscosity data, the interaction parameters mu and alpha were calculated. These values revealed that HPMC/PEG blend is miscible when the HPMC content is more than 60 wt.% in the blend at 30 and 50 degrees C, below which is immiscible. Further the result was also confirmed by ultrasonic velocity, density, refractive index measurements, which also revealed that the change in temperature has no significant effect on the miscibility of HPMC/PEG polymer blend.
