The selection of an appropriate product for the job should be accompanied by decisions about the appropriate protection, whether this is by design, by preservative treatment, or by wood modification techniques. This Special Issue, "Advances in Wood Composites II", presents recent progress in enhancing and refining the performance and properties of wood composites by chemical and thermal modification and the application of smart nanomaterials. Such enhancements and refinements have made wood composites a particular area of interest for researchers. In addition, this Special Issue reviews some important aspects in the field of wood composites, with particular focus on their materials, applications, and engineering and scientific advances, including solutions inspired biomimetically by the structure of wood and wood composites. This Special Issue, as a collection of 14 original contributions, provides selected examples of recent advances in wood composites.History of engineering and technologybicsscammonia treated woodaspenbending strengthbiocompositebiomassbiosourced wood adhesivesbirch plywoodblack locust woodbonding qualitybonding strengthcell-wall polymerschicken feathercolour changecompositecomposite panelscompositional analysiscore layer temperaturecreepcross-likingdecay resistancedensificationdibenzoyl peroxidedynamic mechanical analysiselectron beam irradiationengineering materialsenvironment-friendlyEPDM rubberfeather proteinfire retardancyfire retardantsflexureformaldehyde emissiongrapheneHDPEhot pressinghydroxyl accessibilityimpedance tubeinjection moldinglight transmittancemicrostructure behaviormodelingmodulus of elasticitymorphological structuren/anano-carriernano-materialsnatural materialsnew approachesorthogonal testpartial delignificationphysico-chemical characteristicsplywoodpower lawshort-rotationsorption behaviorsorption fitting modelsound absorption coefficientspruce and larch barksynthetic wood adhesivestensile strengththermal conductivity coefficientthermoplasticthickness swellingtransparent woodtreatabilityup-cyclingveneer stack heatingveneer-drying temperatureviscoelasticitywater absorptionwillowwollastonitewoodwood composite binderswood compositeswood preservativeswood sawdustWPCHistory of engineering and technologyPapadopoulos Antonios Nedt1280538Papadopoulos Antonios NothBOOK9910557378803321Advances in Wood Composites II3017185UNINA
