The Journal of Bioresources and Bioproducts (J.Bioresour.Bioprod.) is published by Nanjing Forestry University (NFU), co-published by the University of New Brunswick (UNB) and the Cellulose and Renewable Materials Division of the Chinese Chemical Society. JB&B seeks to promote research on all aspects pertaining to the conversion of forest bioresources into biomaterials, biochemicals, bio-based nanomaterials and application, and bio-based stimuli materials for intelligent application, including fundamental, applied, and engineering research. The journal publishes Original research papers, reviews, mini reviews, Editorial, Letter to the Editor, Commentary, Method, Opinions that are of high quality, high interest, and far-reaching consequence. Articles submitted to JB&B should reflect one of the following 7 themes: – Cultivation and characterization of renewable biomass – Structure-property relationships between forest bioproducts and engineered wood products – Renewable bioresource production and processes – Isolation, modification and utilization of cellulose, hemicelluloses, and lignin – Conversion of renewable bioresources into biomaterials, biochemicals, biofuel, and bioenergy – Bio-based smart and functional materials for a variety of applications – Fundamentals and applications of nanocellulose, bio-based nanomaterials and biocomposites – Emerging pulp and paper technologies
