Call for Paper: Special Issue on "Textile and Fiber-Reinforced Wood-Based Materials" in open access journal "Materials" (MDPI)

Prof. Haller is Guest Editor for a Special Issue on "Textile and Fiber-Reinforced Wood-Based Materials" in the open access journal Materials (impact factor: 3.623, ISSN 1996-1944) published by MDPI.

In this call for paper, contributions on the following topics can be submitted:

Wood  and  plants  are  raw  materials  available  worldwide. Their synthesis from carbon dioxide and water with the aid of  light  makes  natural  substances  one  of  the  largest
suppliers  of  materials  and  a  global  factor  in  the  Earth’s carbon dioxide sink and carbon dioxide cycle. This has led to increased attention on renewable raw materials in the fight against global warming and in building a sustainable economy.
 
In this Special Issue, the focus is on wood, fibers, textiles, processes, and concepts as well as synthetic polymers and biopolymers  that  make  a  substantial  contribution  to  the
United  Nations’  Sustainability  Goals.  We  are  looking  for fundamental and applied research on innovative materials, material combinations, and hybrid composites that clearly go beyond the state of the art and research and which offer improved  properties,  use  fewer  natural  resources,  and allow  more  biodiversity,  while  remaining  environmentally friendly and also competitive.
