Innovations in Wood Science

Abstract:

Considering the status of wood utilization in rapidly depleting forests, the various innovations introduced to meet the challenges of short supply, and to overcome some of the main defects of various species of wood are explained, particularly with reference to tropical countries like India. The associated developments in wood adhesives and wood joints are also briefly discussed. Some recommendations are suggested for new approaches
