Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The authors compounded a short fiber reinforced phenolic resin by using specific mechanical energy input as a process control parameter. I think it is an interesting topic. But I would suggest organizing the paper with major revision for a better understanding to readers.

(1) Please rewrite the introduction part to make sure it is smooth and coherent.

(2) How did the author quantify the degree of crosslinking? By DSC? Is there any data given in the manuscript?

(3) I would suggest providing exactly supportive data instead of only a trend in Figure 9.
