The Chinese Pulp and Paper industry has been growing rapidly, with an annual growth rate of more than 10% in the last decade, and in 2009 China became the NO.1 paper and board producer in the world. It is timely that 16th International Symposium on Wood, Fibre and Pulping Chemistry - will be held in Tianjin, China, June 08-10, 2011. We sincerely invite scientists/engineers around the world to contribute to the technical program of the conferences by reporting your new fundamental and applied knowledge related wood, fibers, pulping, biomaterial and bio-energy. The goal of the symposium is to provide a platform for sharing the most recent knowledge, establishing new contacts and keeping up to date with current developments for both academic and industrial people.
