Physico-Chemical and Mechanical Characterization of Triumfetta Pentandra Bast Fiber from the Equatorial Region of Cameroon as a Potential Reinforcement of Polymer Composites

This study aims at characterizing Triumfetta Pentandra (TP) bast fibers from the equatorial region of Cameroon and evaluating its potential as a strengthening agent in a polymer matrix. The fibers were extracted from the bark of the plant by water retting method and subjected to phytochemical, morph...
