Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wood is a natural material, available in large quantities and easy to produce, making it the perfect material to consider for circular economy. Its importance has dramatically increased in recent years. This increase is accompanied by the development of new research methods which open new possibilities in areas related to wood and wood products in the process of their production, processing and final use. The main topics of the Special Issue include: knowledge of the quality of wood and other lignocellulose materials in relation to the processes for their effective utilization and processing for more efficient processing; the adoption of some techniques and research related to using wood for environmentally friendly composite production and the related positive impact on the environment; wood interaction with solid substances and with different mechanical load, chemical and other substances and different forms of energy; surface modification of wood and wood composites.
