Prof. Sibel YILDIZ | | Language of instruction | Turkish | | Professional practise ( internship ) | None | | | | The aim of the course: | | Wood has been modified with different chemical agents in order to protect against biotic and abiotic degratative factors. It is intended to give information about interactions between wood and chemical agents, modification methods for adequate protection, physical and chemical properties of some chemical agents. |
| Programme Outcomes | CTPO | TOA | | Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to : | | | | PO - 1 : | define terminology of chemical modification | 2 | | | PO - 2 : | classify physical/chemical properties of wood modification systems and, to define them in detail | 2,3 | | | PO - 3 : | choose and put into practise the modification techniques required to increase effectiveness in wood modifying process | 3,5 | | | PO - 4 : | define the methods improving hydrophobic structure of wood | 2,3 | | | PO - 5 : | compare the physical/chemical properties of acetylated and the other type modified woods | 2,3 | | | PO - 6 : | develop strategy about modification process. | 5,6,7 | | | CTPO : Contribution to programme outcomes, TOA :Type of assessment (1: written exam, 2: Oral exam, 3: Homework assignment, 4: Laboratory exercise/exam, 5: Seminar / presentation, 6: Term paper), PO : Learning Outcome | | |
| Wood modification methods, acetylation reactions, treatment of wood with anhydrite, wood-polymer composite, changes on physical and mechanical properties of wood after modification. |
