In this book, 15 papers, covering some of the latest advances in pretreatment and bioconversion of crop residues, are presented. Research results dealing with wheat straw, corn stover, sweet sorghum bagasse, hazelnut shells, oil palm empty fruit bunch, olive tree pruning biomass, and other residues of crop harvest and processing are discussed. Pretreatment methods, such as auto-catalyzed and acid-catalyzed hydrothermal processing, steaming, alkaline methods, and different organosolv approaches, are reported. Bioconversion with enzymes and microbes for producing fermentable sugars, xylitol, and biomethane are also included.

Technology: general issues --- oil palm empty fruit bunch --- lignin recovery --- lignin purity --- digestible cellulose --- organosolv pretreatment --- Ferulic acid --- Feruloyl esterase --- Xylanase --- Synergy --- Xylo-oligosaccharides --- olive tree harvest --- lignocellulose nanofibers --- circular economy --- valorization --- pretreatments --- high-pressure homogenization --- biorefinery --- hazelnut shells --- hydrothermal pretreatment --- hemicelluloses --- oligosaccharides --- antioxidant activity --- corn stover --- pretreatment --- steam refining --- enzymatic hydrolysis --- alkaline extraction --- lignin --- organosolv --- fractionation --- characterization --- Paulownia --- alkaline pretreatment --- enzyme cocktail --- glycosyl hydrolase --- termite metagenome derived enzymes --- sugarcane bagasse --- soybean husks --- palm empty fruit bunches --- recombinant enzymes --- techno-economic study --- castor plant --- biodiesel --- bioethanol --- alkali pretreatment --- delignification --- cellulose --- cellulose-containing materials --- Penicillium verruculosum --- biomass --- enzyme --- consolidated bioprocessing --- wheat bran --- rice straw --- acidic hydrolysis --- fermentation --- aeration --- detoxification --- wheat straw --- bioconversion inhibitors --- ethanolic fermentation --- barley crop residue --- biochemical methane potential --- material degradability --- anaerobic indicators --- biogas feasibility --- biogas emissions --- oil palm empty fruit bunch --- lignin recovery --- lignin purity --- digestible cellulose --- organosolv pretreatment --- Ferulic acid --- Feruloyl esterase --- Xylanase --- Synergy --- Xylo-oligosaccharides --- olive tree harvest --- lignocellulose nanofibers --- circular economy --- valorization --- pretreatments --- high-pressure homogenization --- biorefinery --- hazelnut shells --- hydrothermal pretreatment --- hemicelluloses --- oligosaccharides --- antioxidant activity --- corn stover --- pretreatment --- steam refining --- enzymatic hydrolysis --- alkaline extraction --- lignin --- organosolv --- fractionation --- characterization --- Paulownia --- alkaline pretreatment --- enzyme cocktail --- glycosyl hydrolase --- termite metagenome derived enzymes --- sugarcane bagasse --- soybean husks --- palm empty fruit bunches --- recombinant enzymes --- techno-economic study --- castor plant --- biodiesel --- bioethanol --- alkali pretreatment --- delignification --- cellulose --- cellulose-containing materials --- Penicillium verruculosum --- biomass --- enzyme --- consolidated bioprocessing --- wheat bran --- rice straw --- acidic hydrolysis --- fermentation --- aeration --- detoxification --- wheat straw --- bioconversion inhibitors --- ethanolic fermentation --- barley crop residue --- biochemical methane potential --- material degradability --- anaerobic indicators --- biogas feasibility --- biogas emissions

Wood composites have shown very good performance and substantial service lives when correctly specified for the exposure risks present. The selection of an appropriate product for the job should be accompanied by decisions about the appropriate protection, whether this is by design, by preservative treatment, or by wood modification techniques. This Special Issue, “Advances in Wood Composites II”, presents recent progress in enhancing and refining the performance and properties of wood composites by chemical and thermal modification and the application of smart nanomaterials. Such enhancements and refinements have made wood composites a particular area of interest for researchers. In addition, this Special Issue reviews some important aspects in the field of wood composites, with particular focus on their materials, applications, and engineering and scientific advances, including solutions inspired biomimetically by the structure of wood and wood composites. This Special Issue, as a collection of 14 original contributions, provides selected examples of recent advances in wood composites.
