Abstract

Wood modification using biopolymers has emerged as a sustainable alternative to conventional chemical treatments, enhancing wood’s durability, moisture resistance, and mechanical properties while reducing environmental impact. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements in biopolymer-based wood modification, focusing on commonly used biopolymers such as furfuryl alcohol, polylactic acid, caprolactone, polybutylene adipate terephthalate, polybutylene succinate, zein, lignin, tannin, chitosan, alginate, gums, fatty acids, rosin, and sorbitol + citric acid. Future perspectives highlight the need for interdisciplinary collaboration between academia, research institutions, and industry to accelerate innovation and commercialization. This review aims to provide valuable insights for researchers and industry professionals working toward the development of high-performance, eco-friendly modified wood products.
