The aim of Chapter 7 is to investigate the mechanical and thermal performance of sugar palm fibers (SPF) reinforced with phenolic composites. SPF in powdered form (i.e., ≤150 μm) with five different fiber loadings ranging in volume from 0% to 40% was used to fabricate the composite samples with a ho...
