Abstract: As a new kind of ecomaterials，woodceramics is reported to have excellent performance，such as good electrical properties，friction and wear resistance，corrosion resistance，high strength，light weight，porousness and electromagnetic shielding ability. Therefore，it has potential application in many industries. Research progress of woodceramics over these years is reviewed. The raw materials，fabrication methods，structure of woodceramics and characteristics，including electricity，mechanics and friction are introduced in detail. In addition，the prime problems existing in recent researches are analyzed and the prospect is put forward，including choice of material and heating mode，deepening of mechanism research and the broadening of application fields.
