Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Forest products, as our most-used renewable resource, are traditionally used in the building sector; however, supplies are finite. With the accelerated advancement of new technology, increasing studies about wood quality have been conducted in response to the rapid development of wood in construction materials. However, this Special Issue will provide insight into how wood technology is used to improve wood quality in various kinds of forest products, as opposed to construction materials only. Through the insights of these contributing papers, we hope to help solve the supply shortage of forest products so as to achieve effective resource management and use.
This Special Issue welcomes authors who are engaged in studying wood science, wood technology, or wood processing to submit papers.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Thermal modification and protection of wood;
- Wood-filled composite materials;
- Building materials and technologies;
- Wood science and processing;
- Drying and thermal moisture treatment of materials.
