Produktbeschreibung

The degradable nature of high-performance wood-based materials is an attractive option when considering environmental factors such as sustainability, recycling, and energy/resource conservation. This guide explores the latest concepts and technologies in wood chemistry and bio-based composites. Leading researchers offer in-depth discussions of presently known mechanisms in chemical modifications. Fully revised and updated throughout, this edition includes a new chapter on the latest chemistry of wood heat treatments and discusses the newest chemistry of wood heat treatment.
