Abstract

With advancements in the methods of research, the branch of Material Science has
seen its extremes but there are some areas upon which much attention should be kept. One such
area is the natural composite. This work focuses on the extraction of fibres from jute, coir and
bamboo belong to this category. Fillers are used along with various commodities as well as
engineering polymers to improve the properties of polymers. In this project bamboo fiber hybrid
composites have been developed from polypropylene filled with fly ash of constant 10% wt
Concentration. Concentration of fiber was varied up to 25 % by weight and the test specimens
were prepared by Injection Moulding. Bending properti es were tested by using tensometer and
the Bending Strength, Bending Moment were increased with the increment of fiber weight % in
the composition.
