On September 21, 2025, the lead researcher, Dr. Istie Sekartining Rahayu, S.Hut, M.Si, disseminated the results of the research entitled Dimensional Stability of SiO2/BN Nanocomposite-Modified Wood at the IWORS 2025 (The 17th International Symposium of the Indonesian Wood Research Society) in Mataram, Lombok. The dissemination occurred in the form of a comprehensive international scientific symposium. The IWORS forum is an international scientific forum organized by the Indonesian Wood Research Society (MAPEKI). Since its inception in 2009, this symposium has evolved into a recurring event that facilitates collaboration among researchers, academics, industry practitioners, and government agencies from both domestic and international backgrounds. The objective of this event is to
- The forum is intended to facilitate the exchange of the latest developments in science and technology.
- It is imperative to promote international research collaboration.
- It is imperative to provide support for innovation in the realm of sustainable forest resource management.
- The objective of this initiative is to facilitate collaboration between academics, industry, and policymakers.
The upcoming symposium will encompass five primary domains:
- The following topics will be examined in this study: biocomposites, manufacturing technology, physical and mechanical properties, panels, and adhesives.
- The following is a list of topics to be covered in the section on wood properties and quality improvement:
– Drying
– Preservation
– Anatomy
– Processing
- The field of bamboo-wood architecture and engineering encompasses the study of structural mechanics and building construction.
- The domain of forest product chemistry encompasses a wide range of disciplines, including bioenergy, nanotechnology, pulp and paper production, and the utilization of natural products.
5. The following general forestry subjects are covered: silviculture, conservation, ecotourism, and forest management.
