Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The growing need to use renewable materials of controlled quality, together with remarkable advances in adhesive technology and the availability of wood, has contributed to the emergence of new wood-based products that comprise an extensive range developed in response to a need for high-quality renewable materials in a period of scarcity of natural resources, a concern that is becoming increasingly important in our society. Therefore, the objective of this Special Issue is to present new advances in wood-based products, highlighting their potential and applications.
This Special Issue focuses on the “Development and Performance of Wood-Based Products” and welcomes original research articles and reviews. Research areas may include, but are not limited to:
- Wood-based panels;
- Particleboards;
- Fiberboards;
- Plywood;
- Wood composites;
- Engineered wood products;
- Wood plastic composites (WPCs);
- Laminated veneer lumber (LVL);
- Glued laminated timber (Glulam);
- Cross-laminated timber (CLT);
- Nail-laminated timber (NLT);
- Life cycle analysis (LCA) of wood-based products;
- Adhesives technology;
- Reuse of wood waste;
- Non-destructive evaluation of wood-based products.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. 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. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Forests is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
