摘要
基于聚合物添加剂在减少长途运输阻力方面的成功应用,以及其在消防领域应用的复杂性,本研究通过实验和分子动力学模拟相结合的方法,研究了添加剂在森林灭火中对木材特性的影响,重点关注润湿性、流动性和可燃性。通过接触角测量和表面流动实验确定了聚合物溶液的最佳浓度。利用热重分析、红外光谱和木材浸渍实验分析了聚合物对木材保水性、热稳定性和微观结构的影响。模拟了聚合物在纤维素表面的润湿和流动模型,以阐明聚合物在流动过程中的润湿机制和动态行为。结果表明,聚丙烯酰胺(PAM)和聚环氧乙烷(PEO)在最佳浓度下可促进木材表面润湿、改善流动性、提高保水性并延缓分解。PAM 在流动稳定性、热稳定性和液体吸收增强方面表现出卓越的效果,这主要归功于 PAM 与表面之间通过酰胺基团形成的强氢键。在流动过程中,PAM 分子逐渐聚集,并以聚集体的形式沿 X 轴移动。相比之下,PEO 系统则依赖于水和表面之间的静电力,其动态过程包括 PEO 分子链的反复拉伸和收缩,以促进水的流动并增强润湿性。这项研究有助于明确聚合物在木材表面的应用条件和益处,提高阻力减少剂在消防应用中的功效和潜力。
Application of drag-reducing polymers in forest firefighting: Effects on wood properties and mechanism study
Based on the successful utilization of polymer additives in drag reduction for long-distance transportation and the intricacies of their application in firefighting contexts, this study investigated the impact of additives on wood properties in forest fire suppression through a combination of experiments and molecular dynamics simulations, focusing on wettability, fluidity, and combustibility. Optimal concentrations of polymer solutions were determined through contact angle measurements and surface flow experiments. The effects of polymers on wood water retention, thermal stability, and microstructure were analyzed using thermogravimetric analysis, infrared spectroscopy, and wood impregnation experiments. Wetting and flow models of polymers on cellulose surfaces were simulated to elucidate the wetting mechanism and dynamic behavior of polymers during flow. The results revealed that polyacrylamide (PAM) and polyethylene oxide (PEO) promoted wood surface wetting, improved flowability, enhanced water retention, and delayed decomposition at optimal concentrations. PAM exhibited superior effects in flow stability, thermal stability, and liquid absorption enhancement, attributed to strong hydrogen bonding between PAM and surfaces, primarily through amide groups. During flow, PAM molecules gradually aggregated and moved as aggregates along the X-axis. In contrast, the PEO system relied on electrostatic forces between water and surfaces, with dynamic processes involving repeated stretching and shrinking of PEO molecular chains to facilitate water flow and enhance wetting. This research contributes to delineating the application conditions and benefits of polymer on wood surfaces, enhancing the efficacy and potential of drag-reducing agents in firefighting applications.
期刊介绍:
The aim of the journal is to provide a respectful outlet for ''sound science'' papers in all research areas on surfaces and interfaces. We define sound science papers as papers that describe new and well-executed research, but that do not necessarily provide brand new insights or are merely a description of research results.
Surfaces and Interfaces publishes research papers in all fields of surface science which may not always find the right home on first submission to our Elsevier sister journals (Applied Surface, Surface and Coatings Technology, Thin Solid Films)
