Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This special edition, entitled "Advances in Wood Processing Technology: 2nd Edition", focuses on high-quality original research articles and reviews on the latest (innovative) approaches in the development of wood-based materials processing, new ecological wood-based composites, advanced wood processing functions and further advances in industrial production research in the field of wood-based materials and their applications. Wood is an attractive construction material and has several favorable properties and advantages. However, it also has shortcomings and various limitations such as limited fire resistance, dimensional instability and susceptibility to various biotic and abiotic damage. Today, it is possible to improve some properties of wood with the help of extensive innovative methods. Technical progress is largely conditioned by the process of discovering and improving technological processes and methods. New ideas do not usually arise by chance, but social conditions are necessary for this (achieving a certain state of knowledge and technology that requires a new quality, accumulation of knowledge about a given problem). Contributions related to the latest processing technologies for both grown wood and wood-based wood composites will be greatly appreciated.
