Abstract
A composite is usually made up of at least two materials out of which one is binding material called as matrix and other is a reinforcement material known as fiber or whisker. The important characteristics of composites are their strength, hardness rigid light in weight. Composites can be produced by using natural fibers such as banana fiber, bamboo fiber, jute, coir and silk. Bamboo posses better properties than other natural fibers. In the present work, composites are produced from epoxy resin with bamboo fibers. The bamboo fibers of 3mm in diameter (approximately) of fixed percentage (08% by weight fraction) are placed in different orientation i.e.30°, 45°, 60°, and 90°. The mechanical properties such as tensile strength, flexural strength, and impact strength tests are conducted.
