Bamboo Fiber Reinforced Bio-composites for Industrial Applications: A Review

AbstractThe concern for environment has always pushed for alternative materials to be used for various activities. In this context, bamboo appears to be a promising alternative to be used in composite materials as a reinforcement. Various techniques have been discussed here for bamboo fiber extraction and its compatibility with different matrixes. In this study, it is found that bamboo fiber promises to be very effective due to its large-scale availability in Asian countries like India. Further emphasis is given on better method of bamboo extraction out of CMT and RMT.KeywordsBio-compositeBamboo fiberCMTRMT
