  Abstract: The objective of this research is to assess the suitability of bamboo fibers as a sustainable alternative to synthetic and wood fibers for reinforcing polymer composites. Plant-based fibers, particularly bamboo, offer advantages such as biodegradability, lightweight nature, abundance, and impressive mechanical properties that rival or surpass those of conventional materials. In this study, special focus is placed on the extraction of long fibers from Dendrocalamus giganteus, using a combined mechanical …
