Prospects for Wood Science and Technology in China in the New Century
A global integration of economy,science and technology along with national economic reforming and re structuring of government research institutions in China has created a great deal of impact on the development of wood science and technology, which must further strengthen the knowledge innovation and technology innovation in the new century in the country. Wood knowledge innovation will focus on wood resources structure in China. The relationship among properties, quality and bio formation as well as processing and utilization of plant materials such as wood from plantation forest will be further understood. Technology innovation will be carried out mainly by enterprises and technology breakouts could be expected in processing and utilization of plant materials like wood, value added manufacturing, better performance of wood based materials and better environment protection etc. The development of wood science and technology in China will be characterized in intersection and frontier with other sciences in the direction of plant material science, wood based composite material science, wood based reconstituted material science, wood based Eco material science, science of environment engineering of wood structure, as well as science of wood chemical processing
