Dr Andreja Kutnar, InnoRenew CoE director, together with colleagues Dick Sandberg, Olov Karlsson and Dennis Jones, have authored a book, “Wood Modification Technologies: Principles, Sustainability, and the Need for Innovation”.

This book arose from the recognition that, in recent years, the market for durable products using modified wood increased and sustainability became a greater concern. Therefore, the authors have put together key elements in the wood modification filed, presented principal technologies used and pointed out the need for environmental impact considerations.

“It was a long and exciting journey, and I hope readers of the book will find it useful for broadening their horizons about wood modification and, perhaps, find some interesting research inspirations,” Dr. Kutnar said. “The field of wood modification offers several possibilities for developing innovations and fostering sustainable practices.”

“Wood Modification Technologies: Principles, Sustainability, and the Need for Innovation” is being published by Taylor & Francis Ltd. and will be available for purchase on 15 March 2021.
