Intelligent nano biomimetic reflection of hydrothermal approach on lignocellulosic surface
Abstract
In this study, it is aimed to increase the water and sunlight resistance, which are the weakest aspects of wood materials, which are widely and reliably used in all sectors, especially furniture. Nano formed on the surface of wood with hydrothermal approach method using ferrous sulfate heptahydrate (FeSO4·7H2O), Nickel (II) chloride hexahydrate (NiCl2.6H2O), Ethyl alcohol (EtOH), Sodium hydroxide (NaOH), and Potassium nitrate (KNO3) structures are aimed at providing anti-UV properties and preventing photodegradation. Energy diffuser x-ray (EDX), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyzes were performed to characterize these functioning studies. In addition, water contact angle (WCA) measurement was used to determine hydrophobization properties and UV-Vis spectrometry was used to determine anti-UV properties. The changes of color and surface parameters after functioning were examined according to ISO 2469 (2014) and ISO 4287 standards, respectively. Anti-UV property is determined in the range where UV wavelength is 200-800 nm.
