The forest-based industries are undergoing a significant
transformation driven by the need for sustainable and high-performance
materials. This book explores the intersection of chemistry, manufacturing, and
performance in forest products science and technology. The work focuses on the
development of innovative chemical treatments and manufacturing processes to
enhance the durability, stability, and aesthetic appeal of wood-based products.
The use of bio-based adhesives, nanotechnology, and advanced composites to
create high-value forest products with improved mechanical properties and
reduced environmental impact was investigated. Additionally, the potential of
emerging technologies, such as 3D printing and biodegradation, to revolutionise
the manufacturing and end-of-life recycling of forest products was examined.
The findings demonstrate the potential for forest products to play a critical
role in the development of a more sustainable and circular economy. By
integrating cutting-edge chemistry and manufacturing techniques, forest
products that not only meet the performance demands of modern applications but
also contribute to a more environmentally conscious and responsible industry
can be created. This work contributes to the advancement of forest products
science and technology, providing new insights and solutions for the
development of sustainable, high-performance materials that benefit both the
environment and society.
