The determination of abrasion resistance and adhesion of varnishes with various ratios of graphene additive on different wood
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Graphene was mixed with varnishes at different ratios and applied by spraying method on different cross-sections of various wood materials, and their wear and adhesion performances were determined. Graphene (0.25%, 0.50%, 1%); varnishes (water-based and polyurethane varnish) and wood materials (beech (Fagus orientalis Lipsky), chestnut (Castanea sativa Miller), yellow pine (Pinus sylvestris L.), and spruce (Picea orientalis (L.) Link.)) were used. Adhesion and abrasion tests were performed. A total of 480 test specimens were prepared, 5 specimens for each wood type, cross-sectional direction, graphene ratio, and varnish type for adhesion and abrasion tests. The adhesion of the samples was determined by ASTM D 4541-09E1 pull-off test and abrasion resistance was determined in accordance with ASTM 4060-10. The data obtained were statistically analyzed and the significance values within and between groups were determined. As a result, abrasion resistance and adhesion increased in graphene 2 (0.50%) in both varnish types.
