Abstract
Amidst the burgeoning interest in multifunctional superhydrophobic wood-based composites (SWBCs) for their varied applications and the need for improved environmental resilience, recent efforts focus on enhancing their utility by integrating features such as mechanical and chemical stability, self-healing capabilities, flame resistance, and antimicrobial properties. Research indicates that various external conditions can influence the wettability and additional characteristics of SWBCs. This comprehensive review outlines three critical factors affecting SWBCs' performance: synthesis methods, wood taxonomy, and chemical agents. It further provides a detailed overview of SWBCs' specific attributes, including essential qualities for diverse applications and the limitations posed by different contexts. Additionally, it elaborates on performance evaluation techniques, offering a foundational framework for SWBCs' practical application. This work aims to serve as an important resource for future research and development in SWBC engineering.
