Özet
In this study, biofilm formation was investigated on Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) and Eastern spruce (Picea orientalis) wood samples impregnated with various vegetable oils such as sunflower oil, waste sunflower oil, raw linseed oil and soybean oil. Wood samples were impregnated with the oils in two stages. Wood samples impregnated with oils were exposed to outdoor weather conditions for a 9-month period. Some macroscopic examinations with the naked eye were carried out on wood surfaces where a biofilm layer formed. Several biofilm characterization tests were conducted on samples. The physical properties (equilibrium moisture content and compression strength) and the surface characterization properties (color changes, glossiness) of wood specimens were determined. The results show that a noticeable biofilm layer has formed on some wood specimens.
