• Comparison of conventional varnishes with nanolacke uv varnish with respect to hardness and adhesion durability 

      Kaygın, Bülent; Akgün, Emre (MDPI, 2008-04-02)
      The long-term durability of varnished wooden surfaces used in either indoors or outdoors environments depends on the resistance of varnish layers on these surfaces against potential physical, mechanical and chemical ...
    • Heat treated wood–nylon 6 composites 

      Gardner, Douglas J.; Aydemir, Deniz; Kızıltaş, Alper; Erbaş Kızıltaş, Esra; Gündüz, Gökhan (Elsevier, 2014-09-03)
      Heat treatment is a relatively benign modification method that is growing as an industrial process to improve hygroscopicity, dimensional stability and biological resistance of lignocellulosic fillers. There also has ...
    • The influence of thermal treatment on color response of wood materials 

      Aydemir, Deniz; Gündüz, Gökhan; Özden, Seray (Wiley Periodicals, 2010-08-11)
      In this study, the influence of thermal treatment on color changes of six different wood materials was investigated. Test specimens were subjected to three different temperatures (160, 180, and 200°C) and durations (3, 5, ...
    • Mechanical, morphological and thermal properties of nano-boron nitride treated wood materials 

      Aydemir, Deniz; Çivi, Büşra; Alsan, Mizgin; Can, Ahmet; Sivrikaya, Hüseyin; Gündüz, Gökhan; Wang, Alice (Maderas. Ciencia y Tecnología, 2016)
      Thermal instability is the one of the most important disadvantages of wood since it begins to decompose at a low temperature (˃110 °C). Many scientists, past and present, have conducted studies aimed at improving the ...
    • A nano-technological product: An innovative varnish type for wooden surfaces 

      Kaygın, Bülent; Akgün, Emre (Academic Journals, 2008-12-18)
      In this study, “nanolacke ultraviolet (UV) varnish,” developed by a Turkish dyeing and varnish company and widely accepted as a 21st century technology, has been compared to other conventional varnish types that are widely ...
