Abstract: The present study narrates about the performance of bamboo fiber against polymer matrix. Among different natural fibers bamboo proved to be a potential ones for effective composite production. Based on this aspect this research carried out by using bamboo fiber of length 5mm in chopped form as reinforcement unsaturated polyester used as matrix. The studies were done by varying the bamboo fiber weight percentage as 20, 30 and 40% weight respectively. The prepared specimens are subjected to tensile strength, flexural strength and Impact strength studies. Based on the results obtained this composite suggested for suitable application.
Keywords: Bamboo Fiber, Polyester Composites, Tensile Strength, Flexural Strength, Impact Strength and Hardness.
Scope of the Article: Composite Materials
