Wiley Characterization of Lignocellulosic Materials - Wiley

Lignocellulosic materials represent a natural, abundant and renewable resource fundamental to industrial societies and sustainable global economic development. This comprehensive work examines the complex structures and chemical compositions of wood and paper products that have shaped civilisation's evolution. Understanding these materials is essential for improving product quality and manufacturing efficiency, particularly as industries shift away from petrochemicals towards environmentally responsible alternatives. The book provides in-depth analysis of characterisation techniques and methodologies for lignocellulosic materials, offering researchers, engineers and industry professionals the knowledge required to optimise material properties and develop innovative applications across forestry, papermaking and emerging bioeconomy sectors.
