Abstract

In this study, fluorescently labeled samples of chitosan and poly (acrylic acid) (PAA) were synthesized for the first time to investigate the penetration depth of polymers and interpolyelectrolyte complex (IPEC) into forest soil, as well as their resistance to leaching. The synthesis of fluorescently labeled polymers and IPEC was carried out by mixing aqueous solutions using fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) and fluoresceinamine (FA). The composition and structure of the synthesized products were identified by infrared (IR) spectroscopy. The optimal molar ratio of the resulting IPEC [Chitosan]: [PAA] = [1:9] was confirmed by gravimetric analysis. Rheoviscosimetric studies revealed pseudoplastic flow behavior for chitosan and dilatant flow for PAA and IPEC. In laboratory-scale model experiments, the mechanical strength and anti-erosion performance of soil–polymer structuring agents were evaluated. Treatment of soil with IPEC led to the formation of a protective soil–polymer film that significantly enhanced resistance to wind erosion (up to 93%) and water erosion (up to 90%), and increased the mechanical strength of soil aggregates by a factor of 13. The study demonstrates that IPEC exhibits superior leaching resistance compared to individual polymers, which is of practical importance for soil structuring and stabilization under erosion-prone conditions.
