• 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 ...
    • Some physical properties of heat-treated paulownia (paulownia elongata) wood 

      Kaygın, Bülent; Gündüz, Gökhan; Aydemir, Deniz (Taylor & Francis, 2009-01-01)
      The aim of this study was to determine the changes in physical properties of Paulownia (Paulownia elongata) wood, a fast-growing species, during heat treatment at three different temperatures (160, 180, and 200 C) and ...
    • Surface characterization of some woods exposed to accelerated weathering 

      Can, Ahmet; Temiz, Cengiz; Sivrikaya, Hüseyin (28th International Conference on Wood Science and Technology, 2017-12-07)
      In this study, the photo degradation of beech (Fagus orientalis), oak (Quercus robur), ash (Fraxinus spp.), and poplar (Populus euramericana) wood samples were investigated by accelerated weathering test in order to ...
