In the presented materials, the physicochemical properties of composite polymer materials for protecting the root systems of forest seedlings from desiccation are studied. The conducted studies on the production of composite polymer materials allowed to establish their optimal ratios: the sodium salt carboxymethyl cellulose from 4 active substance wt.%, as target additives contains potassium chloride from 6.0 to 9.0 wt.% and ammonium nitrate from 0.004 to 0.006 wt.%. This ratio of target additives corresponds to the optimal relative viscosity of the composite polymer material equal to 170-175 s. Treatment of the root systems of seedlings with a composite polymer material allows not only to prevent desiccation, increase their establishment on the planting area, but also to reduce mechanical damage during transportation and forest planting.

The results of the development of composite polymer materials for processing root systems of seedlings in order to increase the survival rate of forest crops are presented. It has been established that the type of target additives and the concentration of water-soluble polymers in the compositions for processing can significantly affect the physicochemical properties of the composites and moisture loss by root systems of seedlings. The optimal compositions of composite polymer materials for protecting the root systems of a number of conifers from drying out are given.

The paper is dedicated to the results of research on composite polymer material used for concrete casings repair. Field approbation of new material was carried out on the irrigation channel test site during the repair of concrete coating deformation joints and cracks. The paper provides the obtained theoretical formulae and results of water permeability calculation in concrete casing cracks with smooth and rough walls. A design chart for determining water permeability of damages in the form of cracks of various coating width on channel concrete coatings was obtained. A universal nomogram was obtained for determining the water permeability of damage in the form of cracks of various opening widths on the concrete coverings of channels.

Biodegradable packaging prepared from starch is an alternative to fossil-based plastic packaging. However, the properties of starch packaging do not comply with the necessary physicochemical properties to preserve food. Hence, in a previous study, we reported the preparation of a composite polymer material based on starch-chitosan-pluronic F127 that was found to be an adequate alternative packaging material. In this study, we modified the physicochemical properties of this material by storing it for 16 months under ambient conditions. The results indicate that the incorporation of pluronic F127 in the blend polymer can help avoid the retrogradation of starch. Moreover, at higher concentrations of pluronic F127, wettability is reduced. Finally, after storage, the materials exhibited surface modification, which is related to a color change and an increase in solubility, as well as a slight increase in stiffness.
