Bamboo-fiber-reinforced thermoset and thermoplastic polymer composites: a review of properties, fabrication, and potential applications

Natural-fiber-reinforced composites, especially bamboo, are an alternative material to compete with conventional materials. Their environmentally friendly, renewable, low-cost, low-density, non-toxic, and fully biodegradable properties are concerning for researchers because of their advantages over...
