The laboratory aims to develop new wood-based materials harmonised with both the global and regional environment are being developed by leveraging the characteristics of lignocellulosic biomass. In addition, integrated projects among interdisciplinary fields are being carried out to confirm the sustainability of production and the potentiality of lignocellulosic biomass.
