This text details the principal concepts and developments in wood science, chemistry and technology. It includes new chapters on the chemical synthesis of cellulose and its technology, preservation of wood resources and the conservation of waterlogged wood. Booknews Surveys the present state of knowledge regarding the chemistry of renewable raw materials, natural polymers, wood, and cellulose. Topics include the ultrastructure and formation of the wood cell wall, the chemistry of lignin, color and discoloration, wood-polymer composites, and adhesives. The second edition adds chapters on chemical synthesis of cellulose, preservation of wood, preservation of waterlogged wood, biodegradable polymers from lignocellulosics, recycling of wood and fiber products, and pulping chemistry.
