As excess electrons are vertically attached to aqueous deoxyribonucleosides, ∼50% of excess electrons would be delocalized over the water molecules.

Environmentally sound composites reinforced with natural fibers or particles interest many researchers and engineers due to their great potential to substitute the traditional composites reinforced with glass fibers. However, the sensitivity of natural fiber-reinforced composites to water has limited their applications. In this paper, wood powder-reinforced polypropylene composites (WPCs) with various wood content were prepared and subjected to water absorption tests to study the water absorption procedure and the effect of water absorbed in the specimens on the mechanical properties. Water soaking tests were carried out by immersion of composite specimens in a container of distilled water maintained at three different temperatures, 23, 60 and 80 °C. The results showed that the moisture absorption content was related to wood powder percentage and they had a positive relationship. The transfer process of water molecules in the sample was found to follow the Fickian model and the diffusion constant increased with elevated water temperature. In addition, tensile and bending tests of both dry and wet composite samples were conducted and the results indicated that water absorbed in composite specimens degraded their mechanical properties. The tensile strength and modulus of the composites reinforced with 15, 30, 45 wt % wood powder decreased by 5.79%, 17.2%, 32.06% and 25.31%, 33.6%, 47.3% respectively, compared with their corresponding dry specimens. The flexural strength and modulus of the composite samples exhibited a similar result. Furthermore, dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) also confirmed that the detrimental effect of water molecules on the composite specimens.

AbstractThe adsorption and dissociation behavior of water molecule below and above the critical dissociation temperatures were studied by first principles calculations. We found that water-molecule adsorption (surface coverage, θ=0.25) on the down Si atom of a Si dimer in two dimers surface model was 0.26 eV more favorable than that on the up Si atom. The activation energies of water molecule on the down Si atom for interdimer and intradimer dissociations were 0.17 eV and 0.20 eV, respectively. Due to the lower activation energy, the water molecule splits into H and OH immediately once it adsorbs on down Si atom of the Si (001) surface at room temperature. There were three different adsorption sites among four sites of the two dimers for the second water molecule (θ=0.5): one was preoccupied by OH of the first water molecule; up Si atom of the same-dimer with 76.3 % probability, up Si atom of the adjacent-dimer with 23.6 % probability, and down Si atom of the adjacent-dimer with 0.1 % probability. Thus, ½ monolayer of OH sites on the Si (001) surface are irregularly distributed when water molecules are adsorbed and dissociated at room temperature.
