Abstract
Aim of study: In this study, a ZnO-based smart artificial nano biomimetic form is created on the wooden surface with the hydrothermal approach to increase the resistance of the wood against moisture and water and provide a more hygienic surface.
 Material and methods: Zinc borate, Zinc oxide, Sodium hydroxide and Hydrochloric acid were hydrothermally applied to the massive surface to synthesize the ZnO-based nano biomimetic structure on the lignocellulosic surface. The hydrophobization step was achieved using 1H,1H,2H,2H- Perfluorodecyltriethoxysilane. In the characterization step; XRD, EDX, SEM and TGA analyzes were done. WCA analysis was performed to determine the hydrophobicity feature.
 Main results: ZnO-based nano biomimetic smart surface form with photo catalyst feature created on the wooden surface has provided a water contact angle of θγ 145°.
 Highlights: Synthesized ZnO-based nano biomimetic smart surface form has given the wooden material a hydrophobic structure. Thanks to the new feature gained by functionalizing the lignocellulosic surface, it is predicted to be preferred in all areas where hygiene is desired.
