• Cellulose is a natural polymer material that constitutes woody biomass and agricultural biomass together with hemicellulose and lignin. It is a homopolymer of repeating units of glucose linked by ⁇ -1,4-glycosidic bonds. Cellulose is formed linearly by ⁇ -1,4-glycosidic bonds, and they interact strongly with each other through hydrogen bonds. Due to its regular structure and strong hydrogen bonds, the cellulose polymer is highly crystalline and aggregates to form partial structures and microfibrils. Then, the microfibrils aggregate to form cellulosic fibers.
• Nanocellulose is a rod-shaped fibril with a length / diameter ratio of approximately 20-200.
• nanocellulose can be prepared, for example, from chemical pulp of wood fiber or agricultural fiber by removing the amorphous region mainly by acid hydrolysis to produce nano-sized fibril.

This method produces microfibrillated cellulose having a diameter of less than about 60 nm, more preferably about 4 nm to about 15 nm, and a length of less than 1000 nm.

• AQUAPEC HV-501ER is a (Acrylate / alkyl acrylate (C10-30)) cross polymer.
• the HECs used were all cross-linked HECs cross-linked with a cross-linking agent (glyoxal), and the content of the cross-linking agent in each cross-linked HEC was 0.55% by mass for HEC (CF-Y) and HEC (SZ-25F). Is 0.29% by mass.
• a powder of crystal nanocellulose and a powder of a water-soluble polymer (HEC) are mixed, and the mixed powder is stirred and mixed with ion-exchanged water to dissolve it, and a water-soluble salt (specifically, a water-soluble salt (specifically)) is added thereto.
• a water-soluble salt specifically, a water-soluble salt (specifically)
• sodium chloride or L-ascorbic acid phosphate magnesium was mixed to prepare a viscous composition. More specifically, 0.33 g of cellulose nanocrystals and 1 g of hydroxyethyl cellulose are mixed in a powder state, the mixed powder is put into 93.67 g of water, and the mixture is stirred with a 4-paddle stirring blade at 500 rpm for 4 hours to gel.
• the viscous compositions of Comparative Examples 3 to 4 were prepared by dispersing crystal nanocellulose in ion-exchanged water, dissolving a water-soluble salt in the viscous composition, and finally dissolving a water-soluble polymer.
• Examples 1 to 4 the viscoelasticity, viscosity, and transmittance of the composition before mixing the water-soluble salt were also measured.
• the viscous compositions of Comparative Examples 1 and 2 were prepared by stirring and mixing a water-soluble polymer (AQUAPEC) in ion-exchanged water, dispersing the mixture, neutralizing the pH to 7 with NaOH, and further mixing and mixing a water-soluble salt.
• AQUAPEC water-soluble polymer
• Comparative Examples 1 and 2 the viscoelasticity and viscosity of the composition before mixing the water-soluble salt were also measured. The results are also shown in Table 1.
