Abstract
Recycling and disposing of vehicles after their useful lives is very difficult today. This prompts researchers to conduct additional research in the field of natural fibre composite to create alternative autonomous mobile structures. This study examines the flexural characteristics and interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) of a composite made of high-lamina bamboo fibre (BAF) reinforced with carbon fibre and polyester resin. There are numerous uses for bamboo fibre, including interior design, television covers, and automobile dashboards. The various fibre composite's strength must be increased for use in the vehicle's structure. In this study, three different weighted percentages of bamboo fibre reinforced with carbon fibre (CAF) composite were used: BAF-CAS (70/30), BAF-CAS (80/20), and BAF-CAS (90/10). The results demonstrated that the composite with a percentage of BAF-CAS (70/30), compared to other percentages, had increased flexural strength and interlaminar shear strength. This study contributes to understanding how bilateral composite can enhance automotive parts' strength, affordability, and sustainability. Similar work should be added in the other classes of composites as future work to get broader knowledge about this research.
