Abstract

This paper investigates how the synthesis of aluminum hydroxide, silver nanoparticles, and nanostructures, as coatings on wood surfaces, can enhance their antifungal and fire-retardant properties. The microwave method is employed for synthesis to investigate properties of the resulting coatings, including antibacterial and fire-retardant properties. They have been examined using SEM, XRD, TGA analyses, fire tests such as UL-94 , and Limiting Oxygen Index (LOI). The results show that bilayer coatings with silver and aluminum hydroxide, respectively, have better antifungal and fire-retardant properties compared to single-layer coatings ones. Furthermore, in the another sample, where both aluminum nitrate and silver nitrate salts are used simultaneously, a good correlation between antifungal and fire-retardant properties has been observed. Overall, these findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the functional properties and potential applications of silver and aluminum hydroxide-coated wood surfaces in various fields such as antimicrobial coatings and environmental remediation.They have been examined using SEM, XRD, TGA analyses, fire tests such as UL-94 , and Limiting Oxygen Index (LOI).
