Thermal behavior of oil palm fiber-reinforced phenol-formaldehyde (PF) resins with different chemical treatments were analyzed using Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC). A well-defined peak of crystallization was observed in all the samples. However, in one of them a second exothermic peak also
## Abstract Banana fiber, one of the world's most important natural fiber obtained from the bast of the plant __Musa Saptentum Linn,__ is available in plenty in Kerala. Without reinforcement, polyester resins are hard and brittle and cannot be used for structural applications. In the present study,
