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 & technologybicsscEPDM rubberwood sawdustelectron beam irradiationdibenzoyl peroxidecross-likingphysico-chemical characteristicsfeather proteinwood preservativesnano-carriertreatabilitydecay resistanceshort-rotationaspenwillowinjection moldingbiocompositetensile strengthbending strengthmicrostructure behaviorviscoelasticityWPCHDPEcompositewoodcreepthermoplasticflexurepower lawmodelingfire retardantsfire retardancygraphenenano-materialswollastoniteblack locust woodammonia treated woodcolour changedynamic mechanical analysisbirch plywoodveneer-drying temperatureformaldehyde emissionmodulus of elasticitybonding strengththickness swellingwater absorptiontransparent woodorthogonal testpartial delignificationlight transmittancemorphological structuresorption behaviorsorption fitting modelcompositional analysishydroxyl accessibilityengineering materialscomposite panelschicken feathercell-wall polymersthermal conductivity coefficientnatural materialsspruce and larch barksound absorption coefficientimpedance tubebiomassup-cyclingplywooddensificationcore layer temperaturebonding qualityhot pressingveneer stack heatingwood compositeswood composite binderssynthetic wood adhesivesbiosourced wood adhesivesenvironment-friendlynew approachesHistory of engineering & technologyPapadopoulos Antonios Nedt1280538Papadopoulos Antonios NothBOOK9910557378803321Advances in Wood Composites II3017185UNINA
