Öğe Agricultural Waste-Based Composite Materials: Recycling Processes, Technical Properties, and Industrial Applications(Hibetullah KILIÇ, 2024) Kılınç, İzham; Korkmaz, MustafaThe transformation of agricultural waste into eco-friendly, lightweight, durable, and biodegradable composite materials supports sustainable production processes and presents new opportunities as alternatives to traditional materials. These composites offer significant advantages, particularly in terms of energy savings, low cost, and minimizing environmental impact. Widely used in industrial applications, these composites contribute to sustainable development goals by serving as insulation materials in construction, interior components and body panels in the automotive industry, biodegradable packaging materials, decorative elements and outdoor furniture in the furniture industry, and plant pots and mulch in agriculture. The broader adoption of agricultural waste-based composites in industrial applications not only offers potential solutions to waste management challenges but also represents a critical step toward enhancing environmental sustainability. This study aims to examine the potential of agricultural waste-based composite materials across various industrial applications. Within this scope, the uses of biodegradable composite materials, recycled from agricultural waste, are detailed across sectors such as construction, automotive, packaging, furniture, and agriculture.Öğe Antifungal Effects of Staining Process on Wood: Hardness, Gloss, and Color Change(North Carolina State Univ Dept Wood & Paper Sci, 2023) Budakçı, Mehmet; Korkmaz, Mustafa; Karal, İpekThis study determined the effects of wood staining on wood-destroying fungi. To achieve this goal, different types of wood samples were used, including Scotch pine (Pinus sylvestris L.), Eastern beech (Fagus orientalis Lipsky), sessile oak (Quercus petraea Liebl.), and mahogany (Entandrophragma cylindricum). Aniline (C6H2NH2), chemical (tannin (C1uH1oOs) + potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7)), and Van Dyke brown stains (Fe2O3MnO2 + K2Cr2O7 + H2O) were applied to the samples, because a walnut color (brown) is preferred by customers. The stained samples were exposed to Fomitopsis palustris and Coriolus versicolor, and mycelium growing on wood was observed for 3 months. Hardness, gloss, and total color change tests were applied to the samples to determine the antifungal effects. The results showed that staining increased the total color change values of the wood, while decreasing in the gloss and hardness values. The chemical stain showed antifungal effects against both fungi.Öğe An application of fuzzy soft sets to a real-life problem: Classification of wood materials to prevent fire-related injuries and deaths(Elsevier, 2023) Korkmaz, Esra; Özcan, Cemal; Korkmaz, MustafaA variety of methods are used to determine the health and life-threatening consequences of wood combustion. However, these methods suffer from some limitations. They analyze the data obtained during combustion individually rather than evaluating them together. Furthermore, they do not take into account the fact that some of the parameters that influence the process can be positive, while others can be negative, or that they may not be of equal importance. In this study, we present a fuzzy soft set-based algorithm to handle such issues. The proposed algorithm can also deal with problems arising when the membership values of the objects are close together. It also contributes a novel approach to the literature regarding the selection of wood materials that are suitable for use in fireprone areas. In order to demonstrate the applicability of our approach we performed an experiment and analyzed wood materials, which are frequently used in wooden structures, according to parameters that may affect human life and health. We also highlight how the present work contributes to the state-of-the-art by interpreting our results using a method that already exists in the literature. (c) 2022 Elsevier B.V.

Three wood species (Scots pine, beech, and poplar) were machined at four temperatures (-20 degrees C, 0 degrees C, 20 degrees C, and 50 degrees C) to simulate diverse climatic conditions. The experiments were conducted at varied spindle speeds (6000, 12000, and 18000 rpm) and feed rates (3000 and 6000 mm/min). Surface roughness was measured using a portable tester in accordance with relevant ISO standards. A full factorial design was used to evaluate the effects of wood species, temperature, spindle speed, and feed rate on surface roughness. Results revealed a strong correlation between processing temperature and surface roughness, with a 25.9% increase in roughness observed as temperature rose from-20 degrees C to 50 degrees C. This temperature effect was consistent across all wood species, though its magnitude varied. The study also found that wood type, spindle speed, and feed rate significantly influenced surface quality, interacting with temperature effects. These findings suggest that controlling wood temperature during processing could be crucial for maintaining consistent surface quality in industrial applications, especially in facilities operating under variable environmental conditions.Öğe Borik Asit İlave Edilen Bazı Tutkalların Kayın Odununun Yanma Özelliklerine Etkisinin Belirlenmesi(2014) Yuca, Bilal; Kurt, Şeref; Korkmaz, Mustafa; Aysal, SemaAğaç malzeme, doğal olması nedeniyle daima insanoğlunun yakınlık duyduğu ve pek çok alanda çok farklı amaçlarla kullandığı bir malzemedir.

These techniques are very useful for assessment of materials such as wood, whose performance can vary considerably depending on the conditions of use. It is possible to estimate some mechanical properties of a material by determining the movement of energy through the material with the help of these techniques. In this study, it was investigated whether the wood material could be tested nondestructively by the heat energy produced by a source. The correlations between the thermal conductivity and mechanical properties of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and sessile oak (Quercus petraea L.) woods were investigated. The thermal conductivity (TC), density, modulus of rupture (MOR), compression strength (CS), and modulus of elasticity (MOE) values of samples were measured according to the related standards and these values were correlated with each other. The linear and multiple regression tests were employed to determine the correlation between thermal conductivity and mechanical properties. The results showed that there is a very strong correlation between thermal conductivity and both density and MOR values. However, the correlations between TC and both MOE and CS were moderate. The results of this study suggest that the thermal conductivity value can be used to estimate the density and some mechanical properties of wood. © 2019, Korean Society of Wood Science Technology.

The wood colorization process is necessary to provide a tonality in the wood materials used in interior design and decoration and to obtain different colors. One of the most important steps of the coloring or bleaching process is selecting appropriate chemical for wood type. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of hydrogen peroxide, ammonia, sodium silicate and acetic acid applied periodically three times on the color changes of radial and tangent sections of beech (Fagus Orientalis L.) samples. Area of study: This study was conducted at Karabuk University and Duzce University, in Turkey. Material and Methods: The color values of the samples were measured according to the CIEL*a*b* color system. Main results: As a result, the effect of cutting direction, chemical type, and application repeat on changes in the color values of beech samples was found significant. Research highlights: The maximum color change in the beech samples was determined in the radial section as cutting direction, in the application of the sodium silicate as the chemical type and it was also obtained in the third repeat as the number of applications.Öğe The effect of some chemicals on the color properties of Beech (FagusOrientalis L.) wood(2017) Yıldız, Abdülkadir; Yapıcı, Fatih; Korkmaz, Mustafa; Pelit, HüseyinÇalışmanın amacı: Doğal haldeki ağaç malzemenin kendine özgü bir rengi vardır. İç mimari ve dekorasyonda kullanılan ağaç malzemelerde renk uyumunu sağlamak veya farklı görüntüler elde etmek için çoğu zaman renklendirme ve renk açma işlemlerine ihtiyaç vardır. Renklendirme veya renk açma işleminin en önemli basamaklarından birisi ağaç türüne uygun kimyasalın seçilmesidir. Bu araştırmanın amacı, kayın (Fagus Orientalis L.) odunundan radyal ve teğet kesitte hazırlanmış örneklere belirli aralıklarla üçer kez uygulanan hidrojen peroksit, amonyak, sodyum silikat ve asetik asit kimyasallarının örneklerde meydana getirdiği renk değişimini belirlemek içindir. Çalışma alanı: Bu çalışma Karabük Üniversitesi ve Düzce Üniversitesinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Materyal ve Yöntem: Örneklerin renk değerleri CIEL*a*b* renk sistemine göre ölçülmüştür. Sonuçlar: Araştırma sonuçlarına göre; kayın örneklerin renk değerlerindeki değişimde kesiş yönü, kimyasal çeşidi ve uygulanma tekrarı önemli bulunmuştur. Araştırma vurguları: Örneklerdeki en fazla renk değişiminin; kesiş yönü olarak radyal kesitte, kimyasal çeşidi olarak sodyum silikat uygulamasında ve uygulama sayısında ise üçüncü tekrarda olduğu belirlenmiştirÖğe Effect of Water Based Varnishes Added Nano-Graphene on the Surface Properties of Beech (Fagus orientalis Lipsky) Wood(Gazi Univ, 2019) Pelit, Hüseyin; Korkmaz, MustafaIn this study, surface glossiness, roughness, hardness, color change, and varnish adhesion resistance properties of beech (Fagus orientalis Lipsky) wood samples coated with nano-graphene (NG) modified water based varnishes were investigated. 0.25%, 0.50% and 1% by weight of NG were added to the water-based varnish and the prepared solution was applied to the samples surfaces. According to the results of the research, the surface glossiness of the samples decreased and the roughness values increased slightly due to the increase of NG in the varnish. On the other hand, the increase in the amount of NG provided significant increases in varnish adhesion resistance up to 25%. The surface hardness value of beech samples increased up to 13% after varnishing. However in contrast to the predicted, effect of NG on hardness values was found to be insignificant. On the other hand, the values of L*, a* and b* decreased significantly with the increase of NG ratio. The samples were darkened and the green-blue color tendency of the samples increased. As a result, it may be recommended that NG addition can be prefer in the water based varnishes to provide high adhesion strength and in the surface darkening process.Öğe The Effects of Densification and Heat Post-Treatment on Hardness and Morphological Properties of Wood Materials(North Carolina State Univ Dept Wood & Paper Sci, 2016) Budakçı, Mehmet; Pelit, Hüseyin; Sönmez, Abdullah; Korkmaz, MustafaThis study investigated the effects of densification and heat post-treatment on the Janka hardness and microscopic structure of relatively low-density Uludag fir, linden, and black poplar woods. Wood samples were densified with compression ratios of 25% and 50% at 100 degrees C and 140 degrees C, respectively. Heat post-treatment was then applied to the samples at 185 degrees C and 212 degrees C for 2 h. The hardness in the radial and tangential directions was determined, and morphological changes in the cell structures were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The hardness values in the radial and tangential directions of the densified samples increased depending on the compression rate and treatment temperature. The hardness values in both directions were higher in the 50% compressed samples. For samples compressed at 140 degrees C, the hardness values were higher in the tangential direction, whereas the samples compressed at 100 degrees C were higher in the radial direction. After the heat post-treatment process, the hardness values of all samples decreased. As the treatment temperature increased, more adverse effects on the hardness was noted. According to the SEM analyses, the densification and heat post-treatment deteriorated the cell structure of the samples. The more cell deformation was observed in the samples densified at 100 degrees C with compression ratio 50% and high heat post-treatment temperature.Öğe Effects of Moisture and Direction of Grain on the Thermal Conductivity and Mechanical Properties of Black Alder and Scots Pine(Kastamonu Univ, 2022) Kurt, Şeref; Korkmaz, MustafaAim of study: Relationships between moisture content and thermal conductivity and mechanical properties of wood species were examined. Material and methods: Black Alder (Alnus glutinosa L.) and Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) specimens were used. Thermal conductivity, modulus of rupture, compression strength and impact bending strength values were determined and analyzed. All specimens were examined at 3 different moisture levels which are oven-dry, fiber saturation point (FSP) and completely wet. Main results: The lowest thermal conductivity value was found in the perpendicular to the grain direction of oven dried Black Alder samples as 0.119 W/mK. The highest thermal conductivity value was found in the parallel direction of Scots pine samples with FSP humidity content as 0.340 W/mK. In addition, the thermal conductivity value parallel to the grain is significantly higher than perpendicular one at all three moisture levels. Highlights: While there is a positive linear relationship between the moisture content of the wood and its dynamic bending resistance and thermal conductivity; It was found that there is a negative linear relationship between bending strength and compressive strength value.Öğe Effects of Thermo-Vibro-Mechanic (R) Densification on the Density and Swelling of Pre-Treated Uludag Fir and Black Poplar Wood(North Carolina State Univ Dept Wood & Paper Sci, 2021) Budakci, Mehmet; Senol, Suleyman; Korkmaz, MustafaThe radial and tangential swelling as well as the fully dried density of low-density wood materials densified via the Thermo-Vibro-Mechanic (R) method were evaluated in response to applying wood stain and preservative. The samples obtained from Uludag fir (Abies bornmuelleriana Mattf.) and black poplar (Populus nigra L.) in the radial and tangential direction were pre-treated with wood stain and preservative before undergoing Thermo-Vibro-Mechanic (R) densification. Thermo-Vibro-Mechanic (R) densification was performed at three different temperatures (100 degrees C +/- 3 degrees C, 120 degrees C +/- 3 degrees C, and 140 degrees C +/- 3 degrees C), three different vibration pressures (0.60 MPa, 1.00 MPa, and 1.40 MPa), and three different vibration times (20 s, 60 s, and 100 s). Afterwards, changes in the fully dried density and swelling amounts in the radial and tangential directions of the samples were determined. The fully dried density increased by 15.4% to 38% and the radial and tangential swelling amounts increased by 73.2% to 242.6%, when the densified samples were compared to the control samples. In general, the fully dried density and swelling values increased depending on the Thermo-Vibro-Mechanic (R) densification parameters; higher values were found as the compression ratio and total application time increased.Öğe Environmental Methods and Media Used to Clean Paint/Varnish on Wooden Surfaces(Düzce Üniversitesi, 2022) Kılınç, İzham; Budakçı, Mehmet; Korkmaz, MustafaAlthough the wood material, which has a natural and organic structure, has some properties that will protect itself against external factors, it loses these properties over time. For this reason, it must be impregnated and/or its surfaces must be covered with protective layers (paint/varnish). These protective layers can lose their protective properties over time, reducing the strength and service life of the material. In addition, this situation may cause wood material to look bad aesthetically. For this reason, it is necessary to remove the layers that have lost their protective function, to perform the necessary maintenance and to re-apply a protective layer. Although it is an exceedingly difficult and laborious process to clean the worn protective layers without damaging the wood surface and the environment, there are many methods and tools used today. In this study, environmentally friendly methods and blasting media that are frequently preferred for cleaning the protective layers on wooden material surfaces are discussed. The main purpose of this paper is to compile the knowledge and experience obtained from the studies in the field of wood surface cleaning and thus to facilitate the researchers and practitioners to reach the literature.Öğe FARKLI AHŞAP MALZEMELERİN BAZI FİZİKSEL ÖZELLİKLERİNE SU İTİCİ MADDELERİN ETKİLERİ(Düzce Üniversitesi, 2020) Pelit, Hüseyin; Korkmaz, Mustafa; Budakçı, MehmetBu çalışmada, su itici özellikteki maddeler ile muamele edilmiş farklı ahşap malzemelerin yoğunluk, su alma, boyutsal değişim ve retensiyon gibi bazı fiziksel özelliklerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır.

Örnekler daha sonra destile su içerisinde farklı sürelerde (2, 8, 24 ve 48 saat) bekletilmiştir. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre, en yüksek retensiyon değerleri katı parafin ile muamele edilen köknar örneklerinde elde edilmiştir. Uygulanan emprenye maddeleri, örneklerin (özellikle çam ve köknar) su alma oranı değerini önemli derecede düşürmüş ve ölçüsel stabilite direncini arttırmıştır. Su alma ve ölçüsel stabilite direnci testlerinde en iyi sonuçlar sırası ile katı parafin ve vazelin ile muamele edilmiş örneklerde bulunmuştur.Öğe FARKLI AHŞAP MALZEMELERİN BAZI FİZİKSEL ÖZELLİKLERİNE SU İTİCİ MADDELERİN ETKİLERİ(Düzce Üniversitesi, 2017) Pelit, Hüseyin; Korkmaz, Mustafa; Budakçı, MehmetBu çalışmada, su itici özellikteki maddeler ile muamele edilmişfarklı ahşap malzemelerin yoğunluk, su alma, boyutsal değişim ve retensiyongibi bazı fiziksel özelliklerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır.

Within this scope, the kombucha culture was produced at room temperature through a fermentation process of approximately 25 days and then dried to obtain BC sheets with a thickness of approximately 1 mm. These sheets were used in the production of laminated wood material, along with wood species of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.), Oriental beech (Fagus orientalis L.), and Anatolian chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.), using urea-formaldehyde, polyurethane, and polyvinyl acetate adhesives. To evaluate the physical properties of the manufactured samples, density, thickness swelling, and water absorption tests were performed. Furthermore, the structural and thermal properties of the BC were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy and thermogravimetric analysis techniques. The findings indicated that BC is a high-performance biomaterial for lamination. The results unveiled BC's remarkable potential for developing eco-friendly materials, though certain technical challenges remain to be addressed before its full capabilities can be realized.Öğe Measurement and Optimization of Wood Dust and Noise Levels in Table Saw Operations Using Response Surface Methodology(North Carolina State Univ Dept Wood & Paper Sci, 2025) Gul, Ozcan; Korkmaz, MustafaExposure to airborne dust and noise during woodworking operations pose serious occupational health risks. This study investigated the influence of key cutting parameters -rotational speed, feed rate, tooth count, and dust collection system status -on PMio concentration and noise levels during circular sawing. Experimental measurements were conducted on six materials, including solid wood species (Scots pine, Oriental beech) and engineered wood products (plywood, medium-density fiberboard, oriented strand board, and particleboard). The collected data were analyzed using response surface methodology (RSM) to optimize cutting conditions, aiming to minimize emissions while maintaining operational efficiency. The results indicated that both material type and processing parameters notably affected dust and noise levels. Optimized cutting settings led to a measurable reduction in exposure, offering practical guidelines for improving workplace safety in the woodworking and furniture industries. This study contributes to the development of safer and more sustainable machining practices by addressing the hidden risks associated with dust and noise pollution.Öğe Nano-reinforced adhesives: Effects of graphene, silica, and cellulose on mechanical properties of laminated wood materials(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2025) Pelit, Huseyin; Korkmaz, Mustafa; Davaz, EsraThis study investigated the effects of graphene, silica, and cellulose nanoparticles on the mechanical properties of laminated wood specimens using polyvinyl acetate (PVAc), urea-formaldehyde (UF), and epoxy (EPX) adhesives. Poplar (Populus nigra) and beech (Fagus sylvatica) veneers (4 mm thick) were bonded using adhesives enhanced with varying concentrations of nanoparticles: graphene (0.25 % and 0.50 %), silica (1 % and 2 %), and cellulose (1 % and 2 %). The laminated wood specimens were tested for modulus of elasticity (MOE), modulus of rupture (MOR), compressive strength (CS) and bonding strength (BS). The results showed that the EPX yielded the highest mechanical strength, followed by UF, while PVAc exhibited the lowest. The addition of all nanoparticles improved performance compared to the base adhesives. Graphene additions significantly improved MOE, MOR, and CS, while cellulose and silica primarily enhanced BS strength. Generally, increasing nanoparticle concentration enhanced mechanical properties, with the exception of BS, which decreased with higher silica concentration. These results demonstrate the potential for tailoring laminated wood properties by selecting specific nanoparticle types and concentrations, offering opportunities for optimized and potentially more sustainable material utilization across diverse applications, from furniture to structural components.Öğe Relationship Between the Thermal Conductivity and Mechanical Properties of Uludag Fir and Black Poplar(North Carolina State Univ Dept Wood & Paper Sci, 2018) Özcan, Cemal; Korkmaz, MustafaThe relationship between the thermal conductivity and some mechanical properties of Uludag fir and black poplar specimens were determined based on related standards. It was hypothesized that thermal conductivity can be used as a predictor for wood properties. The hot plate test method was used as a thermal conductivity testing method. The density, compression strength, modulus of rupture, and modulus of elasticity values were also measured. Pearson's correlation coefficient was determined and both linear and multiple regression analyses were performed to estimate the relationship between the parameters. The correlation between the thermal conductivity and density values was strong, which was consistent with past findings. Also, there was a strong correlation between the thermal conductivity, modulus of rupture, and modulus of elasticity, while the compression strength and thermal conductivity had a moderate correlation. The regression equations and test graphs were also determined and shown. Overall, it can be claimed that the thermal conductivity could be used for predicting the density and mechanical properties of wooden materials.
