Extraction, fabrication and testing of bamboo fiber reinforced polymer composites

In this study, Bambusa bambos which is one of the locally available bamboo species was processed with different operations to get long fiber bundles. There are three methods extraction incorporated here namely mechanical extraction, chemical and combined & extraction. It has observed that by implementing all above methods, only third method called very much useful good quality fiber. Alkali solution for treatment disintegration strips crushing were used. Bamboo bundles so obtained used fabricate composite using phenol formaldehyde resin it found properties have improved.
