Wood Treatments and Modification Technologies—2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

This is the second edition of the Special Issue titled “Wood Treatments and Modification Technologies”.

https://www.mdpi.com/journal/forests/special_issues/XV959QDW57

Wood is a sustainable and versatile material. To improve the properties of wood and give it special characteristics, wood treatments and modifications are conducted. This Special Issue explores the application of chemical, physical, or biological methods to alter the properties of the wood material. Improvements in mechanical strength, dimensional stability, decay resistance, weathering resistance, and fire resistance could be achieved through modifications. Recent modifications of wood include thermal treatment to improve the UV resistance of wood, delignification, and polymer intrusion to make transparent wood and phase-change material-impregnated wood, thus awarding thermal regulative properties to wood. This Special Issue welcomes papers on all aspects of wood treatment and modification, including wood in the form of solid, composites, and woody biomass.

Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process.
