    THE DENSITY, COMPRESSION STRENGTH AND SURFACE HARDNESS OF HEAT TREATED HORNBEAM (Carpinus betulus) WOOD
    (Univ Bio-Bio, 2009) Gündüz, Gökhan; Korkut, Süleyman; Aydemir, Deniz; Bekar, İlter
    The heat treatment of wood is an environment-friendly method for wood preservation. The heat treatment process only uses steam and heat, and no chemicals or agents are applied to the material during the process. Tests have shown no harmful emissions are apparent when working with the material. This process improves wood's resistance to decay and its dimensional stability. In this study, the density, compression strength and hardness of heat treated hornbeam (Carpinus hetzdus L.) wood were investigated. Wood specimens that had been conditioned at 65% rela degrees C for 4, 8, and 12 hrs. After heat treatment, compression strength and hardness were determined according to TS 2595 and TS 2479. The results showed that the decreases of compression strength and hardness were related to the extent of density loss. Both compression strength and hardness decreased with the increasing temperatures and durations of the heat treatment. While the maximum density loss observed was 16.12% at 210 degrees C and 12 hour, at these heat-treatment conditions, the compression strength approximately decreased 30% and hardness values in tangential, radial, and longitudinal directions approximately decreased by 55%, 54%, and 38%, respectively. Hence, it was concluded that there might be a relationship between changes of these wood properties.

    Eco-friendly particleboards with low formaldehyde emission and enhanced mechanical properties produced with foamed urea-formaldehyde resins
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2022) Kelleci, Orhan; Köksal, Süheyla Esin; Aydemir, Deniz; Sancar, Semih
    Urea formaldehyde (UF) is the most widely used thermoset glue in the wood composite board industry. UF has formaldehyde emission, which is harmful to the environment and human health. In this study, it was aimed to ensure more efficient use of glue by foaming UF, as well as to reduce the amount of formaldehyde emission and thus to realize a cleaner production. In the UF resin foaming process, egg white (EW) and blood flour (BF) were used as foaming agents, which increased the resin volume by 4-7 times. Ammonium sulfate (AS) was used as a hardener for the UF. The UF resin and AS solid concentrations were 65% and 30%, respectively. The resins used in the production were prepared by blending UF, AS, and blowing agents using a mixer at 1000 rpm. The resin was then sprayed onto the surface of the wood chips via an air gun under 5 bar pressure. The PBs were produced as a monolayer from only a core layer (CL) of wood chips. The obtained PBs were characterized by their physical and mechanical properties and formaldehyde emissions. The morphological characterization of the foamed resins was also examined. The results showed that the foaming process had improved the mechanical properties of the PBs by about 30%; however, no significant differences were found in the physical properties of the PBs. Morphological characterization showed that the UF foaming with blow agents had proved to be successful and the resin volume had been increased 4-7 times by the foaming. Formaldehyde emissions were found to be lower (2.5-5.1 mg/100 g) than for the un-foamed resins (3.95-7.31 mg/100 g). It was concluded that PBs with good mechanical properties and low formaldehyde emission can be manufactured by using 30% less UF resin.

    The Effect of Heat Treatment on Some Mechanical Properties and Color Changes of Uludag Fir Wood
    (Taylor & Francis Inc, 2010) Gündüz, Gökhan; Aydemir, Deniz; Korkut, Süleyman
    In this study, the effects of heat treatment on color, mass loss, compression strength, and hardness of Uludag fir (Abies bornmulleriana Mattf.) were investigated. Wood specimens conditioned at a relative humidity of 65% and a temperature of 20 degrees C were subjected to heat treatment at 170, 190, and 210 degrees C for 4, 8, and 12h. After heat treatment, compression strength and hardness were determined according to TS 2595 and TS 2479. Color changes were determined according to DIN5033. The results showed that compression strength and hardness of Uludag fir wood decreased to varying extents in relation to intensity of treatment, whereas mass loss increased. We determined that treatment temperature had a more significant effect on color changes than did treatment time. The color of the wood became darker at the higher treatment temperatures.
