“…Retnam et al [39] investigated that the hybrid specimen with ±45 • orientation yielded better mechanical (tensile, flexural and impact strength) properties. Vaghasia & Rachchh [40] prepared B/G unsaturated isopththalic polyester hybrid composites and it was found that the samples with 9% bamboo fiber showed best tensile, flexural and hardness properties.…”

Hybrid composites utilize more than one kind of strands within the same matrix to urge the synergistic impact of both fibers' properties on composites' general properties. Hybridization can be performed from artificial, natural, and a combination of both fibers. The constituent filaments can be altered in numerous ways, driving to the variety in composite properties. Partial substitution of glass fiber with natural ones offers an advantage compared with glass fiber composites while permitting to obtain a mechanical performance higher than using pure natural fiber composites. Recently, researchers are tending towards the development of hybrid composites which will provide good static properties. In this context, a concise review has been done on the recent developments of natural/glass fiber-reinforced composites made by hand lay-up method. It includes a survey of the past research already available involving the hybrid composites and the effect of various parameters on composites' performance studied by various researchers.

“…Wang and Chen (2017) asserted that the bamboo fiber and advanced bamboo fiber reinforced composites (BFRC) have attracted the attention of many industries with their morphology, mechanical property and environment adaptation. Vaghasia and Rachchh (2018) found that the mechanical properties of woven bamboo glass polyester hybrid composite material depend on the effect of variation in bamboo fiber percentage and polyester percentage. Thakur et al (2018) fabricated a new composite material using bamboo fiber reinforced in the epoxy resin in which varying percentage of CNT is synthesized and the mechanical characteristics of the same are evaluated.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to study the effects of fiber length and content on properties of E-glass and bamboo fiber reinforced epoxy resin matrices. Experiments are carried out as per ASTM standards to find the mechanical properties. Further, fractured surface of the specimen is subjected to morphological study. Design/methodology/approach Composite samples were prepared according to ASTM standards and were subjected to tensile and flexural loads. The fractured surfaces of the specimens were examined directly under scanning electron microscope. Findings From the experiment, it was found that the main factors that influence the properties of composite are fiber length and content. The optimum fiber length and weight ratio are 15 mm and 16 percent, respectively, for bamboo fiber/epoxy composite. Hence, the prediction of optimum fiber length and content becomes important, so that composite can be prepared with best mechanical properties. The investigation revealed the suitability of bamboo fiber as an effective reinforcement in epoxy matrix. Practical implications As bamboo fibers are biodegradable, recyclable, light weight and so on, their applications are numerous. They are widely used in automotive components, aerospace parts, sporting goods and building industry. With this scenario, the obtained result of bamboo fiber reinforced composites is not ignorable and could be of potential use, since it leads to harnessing of available natural fibers and their composites rather than synthetic fibers. Originality/value This work enlists the effect of fiber length and fiber content on tensile and flexural properties of bamboo fiber/epoxy composite, which has not been attempted so far.

“…The mechanical behavior of this biocomposites is influenced by several parameters such as fiber volume fraction, fiber length, fiber-matrix adhesion, fiber orientation, and stress transfer at the interface. Therefore, to improve the mechanical behavior of composite materials, the properties of matrix and fibers must be improved first (Vaghasia and Rachchh 2018;Andrew et al 2019;Kalali et al 2019;Sair et al 2019;Sormunen and Kärki 2019;Tokala and Mulpur 2019;Aruchamy et al 2020;Lokesh et al 2020;Lu et al 2020;Sharma et al 2020) Several composites are utilized nowadays that were developed via innovation together with efficiency at the optimum price. The natural fiber composites have begun to be used in secondary structural applications in the automotive industry, including door panels and package trays, because of their low material and production costs, acceptable mechanical properties, biodegradability, and lower weights (Barari et al 2016).…”

“…For this reason, Guadua was treated with 2% NaOH by weight (Lokesh et al 2020). The alkali treatment modifies the fiber surface, which helps to remove the lignin and wax from outer surface resulting in better adhesion between fiber and polymeric matrix (Vaghasia and Rachchh 2018;Chin et al 2020).…”

A reactive hot-melt resin (polyurethane) was used to manufacture Guadua composites with a certain flexibility, high processing speed, good initial rigidity, and high temperature performance. These composites can support a moderate tensile stress, allow for large strains at low stresses, and have a low density and a working temperature range of -40 °C and 110 °C. During the flexural test, bamboo composites with reactive polyurethane matrix do not break or fail during the test. A polyurethane-based reactive hot-melt resin was characterized by tensile tests, Shore hardness tests, differential scanning calorimetry, and thermogravimetry. Besides, a composite material was made with Guadua fiber and polyester matrix, which had a greater strength in the test of tension and flexion, although it had a lower percentage of elongation than the composite material with reactive polyurethane. Guadua fiber can increase the strength by 266% of polyurethane matrix and 228% of polyester matrix.
