Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wood and non-wood are sustainable lignocellulosic materials that have a variety of uses. They are conventionally used for construction, furniture and other industry such as pulp and paper. These materials are also used as raw materials to produce solid biofuel. Recently, the exploration of the potential application of lignocellulosic materials is also increasing in line with the circular economy policy. Biofilm, bioplastic, and nanocellulose are examples of advanced eco-friendly products that can be generated from wood or wood waste. The aim of this Special Issue is to give an overview of the most recent advancements in the field of lignocellulosic and their potential application in diverse areas. This Special Issue contributes to the processing, anatomy, physical, mechanical and chemical properties of wood. This Special Issue welcomes papers on related topics such as advances in the synthesis, characterization and application of biofilm, bioplastic, nanocellulose and solid biofuels from lignocellulosic materials.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Advanced composites
- Role of lignocellulosic materials in various applications
This Special Issue aims to be the leading peer-reviewed platform and an authoritative source of information for analysis, reviews and evaluation related to wood-based lignocellulosic materials.
