The Patent of Asst. Prof. Mert Yildirim Has Been Registered by TÜRKPATENT


The invention titled "Enhanced plywood production method using nanocellulose and boron compounds," developed by Asst. Prof. Mert YILDIRIM, has been registered as a patent by TÜRKPATENT for a period of 20 years.


The invention titled “A method for producing plywood enhanced with nanocellulose and boron compounds,” developed by Asst. Prof. Mert Yildirim has been registered by the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office (TÜRKPATENT) as an examined patent for a period of 20 years. 

The wood-based panel sector and the wood composite industry are under significant transformation pressure due to increasing health concerns over carcinogenic formaldehyde emissions resulting from the use of conventional synthetic thermoset adhesives, as well as increasingly stringent global regulations. In this context, there is a strong industrial trend toward developing bio-based adhesives and sustainable solutions derived from renewable raw materials, aligned with circular economy principles, without compromising mechanical and physical performance. 

Within the scope of this invention, plywood with reduced formaldehyde emissions, enhanced mechanical performance and dimensional stability, and improved fire resistance has been developed by utilizing the synergistic effect of nanocellulose and boron compounds.

We congratulate our faculty member and wish him continued success in his work.
