Wood composites, i.e., any wood material adhesively bonded together, are a key

material for furniture and construction, as well as other uses. Wood composites range

from fiberboard to laminated beams. The basic elements for wood composites are

fibers, usually with larger wood particles and veneers composed of many fibers,

varying in size and geometry. Controlling their characteristics and variations provides

the chief means by which materials are fabricated with predetermined properties. This

Special Issue addresses various aspects, including reinforced composite structures,

advanced functionalities in laminates, the activation of natural fibers, natural matrices,

and other industrial manufacturing research advancements in wood materials as

composites.
