Mechanical characterization of bamboo and glass fiber hybrid composite material

Abstract

Natural fibers are appealing due to its inexpensive price, small weight, and high specific modulus, renewable nature, as well as biodegradability. Bamboo fibers is one of the most promising natural fibers (along with jute, sisal, bamboo, coir, banana, and others) owing to its low cost, light weight, quick growing cycle, and wide availability. The goal of this paper is to look into fibers orientation reinforced hybrid polymer nano composites that combine BAMBOO/E-GLASS and epoxy polymer in the ratios of E-glass fibre80 percent +bamboo 20 percent, E-glass Fibre70 percent +bamboo 30 percent, and E-glass Fibre60 percent +bamboo 40 percent of volume. The mechanical characteristics will be calculated by performing tests on the specimen's tension, hardness, and flexural qualities in line with ASTM standards. Finally, the values are verified when the testing results have been obtained.
