This research investigates the process of extracting and using both long and short bamboo fibers from the plentiful Dendrocalamus giganteus species. The fibers were extracted using a synergistic combination of mechanical and chemical methods, which proved to be the most efficient. The process included using an alkali solution and mechanical disintegration to generate superior long and short fibers. Subsequently, these fibers were used to manufacture composites by combining them with phenol formaldehyde resin, resulting in notable improvements in mechanical properties. The research emphasizes the potential of D. giganteus as a renewable and reliable source of top-notch fibers for the production of composites. This promotes the development of environmentally friendly materials for a wide range of industrial uses. The thorough investigation of methods for extracting fibers and evaluating the performance of composites offers useful insights for enhancing the use of this bamboo species, which is readily available in the local area, in the creation of new and high-performance materials.

Keywords: Dendrocalamus giganteus, water absorption, mechanical properties, rupture modulus, phenol formaldehyde, bamboo strips
