Liken takviyeli, soya fasulyesi yağı esaslı kaplamaların geliştirilmesi ve tekstil uygulamaları.

In this study, a soybean oil-based, UV-curable oligomer was synthesized and then included in coating formulations together with lichen particles. The prepared coating formulations were applied on cotton fabrics as an environmentally friendly coating material and cured by a green process (UV-curing). The lichen particles were employed in order to enhance the bonding mechanism between the cotton fabric and coating material by improving the overall mechanical properties as well. For a better compatibility between the lichen particles and oligomer, the lichen surfaces were modified by two different green process (enzyme and UV-light). The synthesized oligomer was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopies, respectively. The surface modified lichen particles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. After the application of bio-based coating formulations, the coated UV-cured fabrics were characterized in terms of surface characteristics and mechanical properties by using light microscopy, tensile, and abrasion resistance testing. According to the overall results, the coated and UV-cured cotton fabrics can be used as an environmentally friendly alternative in terms of coating material and technique, to the conventional petrochemical-coated outdoor textiles (tarpaulin, tent fabric etc.).
