with metallic nanoparticles. Among the metallic nanoparticles, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been widely used in antibacterial surface applications due to their antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant, anti- cancer and anti-inflammatory effects [12,13]. However, due to the toxic chemicals and harmful reactions used in AgNP production, they become harmful to the environment and human health. Green synthesis, which has replaced the sol – gel method, sono chemical method, thermal decomposition method, pulsed laser deposition and pyrolysis process methods in recent years, provides the production of silver nanoparticles at low cost with a minimal toxic effect by using natural ingredients [14,15]. It is also known that green synthesized AgNPs have superior effects compared to those produced by other methods. They have also been proven to be potentially pathogenic antibacterial agents against a variety of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including Salmo nella epidermidis, Streptococcus pyogens, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Salmonella Typhimurium, Pseudo monas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae [16 – 18]. They owe all these impressive properties to plant extracts. Many natural resources such as plants, fungi and algae can be used as initiators in green synthesis production [19,20]. Herbs are the most effective ones ever known. Flowers, leaves, stems, roots and bulbs of plants are used for green synthesis. They take part in the green synthesis reaction as starting agents by obtaining the extracts of the used part of the plants in water [21,22]. Flavonoids, carboxyl groups, beneficial acids, hydroxyl groups and all other secondary metabolites in plants reduce Ag + ions in aqueous solution and provide AgNP synthesis and prevent agglomeration of these nanoparticles [23 – 25]. Silver nano particles synthesized using extracts of Cannabis Sativa seeds are known
to have small sizes and high antibacterial effects [21,23]. Silver nano particles synthesized using extracts of Cannabis Sativa seeds are known to have small sizes and high antibacterial effects. This is because Cannabis Sativa contains high levels of Cannabinoids, Terpenes, Organic Acids, Phenolic Compounds and Flavonoids [26 – 29]. In this current study, the curing time was improved and the anti bacterial effect was achieved by modifying green synthesized AgNPs with extracts of Cannabis sativa seeds on MDF surfaces. MDF surfaces, which are produced at high rates in the wood industry and used in many places in daily life, have been made resistant to bacteria. In this way, it is aimed to reduce diseases caused by mold and bacteria and improve the quality of human life. In addition, the fact that the raw materials used for the production of nanoparticles are natural will ensure that the anti bacterial MDF surfaces produced are environmentally and climate friendly. 2. Experimental methods and materials 2.1. Materials Silver nanoparticles were synthesized using plant extracts and silver nitrate (AgNO 3 ). Silver nitrate (AgNO 3 ) salt (99 %) was purchased from Sigma Aldrich. Cannabis sativa seeds were obtained from the local market. Melamine and UC 205 coded BLACK colored papers used in the surface coating of MDFs were specially supplied by ÇAMSAN A.S¸. The materials used in all other MDF surface coating processes and the MDF itself are company-specific materials that ÇAMSAN A.S¸. provides for its own production. This coating solution consists of melamine glue,
