Analysis of Weight % of Bamboo and Wood Fiber and Its Fabrication with Polypropylene Based Composites

Natural fiber like Bamboo has found various applications in human life for centuries. In recent years however, bamboo has gen erated interest from researchers as a candidate to replace environmental unfriendly glass as fiber in fiber reinforced composites. This is due to the sustainable properties of bamboo that has high specific strength and stiffness besides being biodegradable, easy avail ability, cheap, economical and renewable. In this paper, A Review is revealed on the properties of bamboo reinforced composites from numerous characterization studies of bamboo that are available in the literatures. The review is based on characterization s tudies on several types of bamboo reinforced composites such as laminated bamboo fiber reinforced composite, randomly oriented bamboo reinforced composite, hybrid fiber reinforced composite, bamboo fiber reinforced bio -composite and bamboo fiber sandwiched structure composite. It can be said that the laminated bamboo composite in general gives higher mechanical properties compare to other structural forms of bamboo composite. In addition Bamboo fiber is compared with glass fiber from various aspects and in some parts it has advantages over the glass fiber.
