Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wood-processing technology is undergoing rapid advancement toward enhanced intelligence, efficiency, environmental sustainability and energy conservation. This is a complex engineering problem that requires solving technical issues in cutting, tools, equipment and processes, among others, with breakthrough theoretical solutions.
This second edition seeks to systematically address these challenges by focusing on innovative wood-processing technologies and their fundamental scientific principles. We are collecting contributions from different disciplines, such as wood material science, wood technology, wood pathology and performance test method evaluation studies. We encourage studies from all fields, including experimental studies, monitoring approaches and models, literature reviews and surveys, to advance knowledge and adapt strategies to increase service life and performance classification of wood products for different use classes.
Dr. Carmen-Mihaela Popescu
Guest Editor
