The study involves modifying green nano silver particles (AgNP) synthesized from the extracts of Cannabis Sativa seeds onto Medium-Density Fiberboard (MDF) surfaces. Microstructural examinations and chemical analyses of the produced surfaces were performed with Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS). A peak at 415nm was found in the UV – Vis spectrophotometer analysis range of the aqueous media containing green synthesized silver nanoparticles. The average size of AgNPs was found to be 45nm by particle size distribution analysis. Performance tests of the modified surfaces revealed that the abrasion and scratch resistance of the coating containing 1% AgNP increased twice and that all modified surfaces were resistant to staining. With nano silver modification, energy efficiency was achieved by shortening the gelation (drying) time of the surfaces coming out of the bath by one and a half minutes during coating production. Nano silver-modified MDF surfaces have shown antibacterial properties that are at least 1000 times more effective. MDF surface coatings modified with new-generation plant-based nanoparticles can prevent and reduce bacterial diseases that can be contaminated by the environment. The production of MDF surfaces that provide low energy consumption and antibacterial properties with green production will be possible.

The Paper Industry Technical Association (PITA) is an independent organisation which operates for the general benefit of its members – both individual and corporate – dedicated to promoting and improving the technical and scientific knowledge of those working in the UK pulp and paper industry. Formed in 1960, it serves the Industry, both manufacturers and suppliers, by providing a forum for members to meet and network; it organises visits, conferences and training seminars that cover all aspects of papermaking science. It also publishes the prestigious journal Paper Technology International ® and the PITA Annual Review , both sent free to members, and a range of other technical publications which include conference proceedings and the acclaimed Essential Guide to Aqueous Coating .
