Bamboo Fiber Composites

Part of the book series: Composites Science and Technology ((CST))

Abstract

Natural fiber composites exhibit various advantages like biodegradability after the life of components, minimal or no emission of greenhouse gases and less pollution. Apart from the domestic and small scale industrial application of these composites, are also employed in military, automobile and aerospace applications owing to their maintenance of sustainable environment, design flexibility and continuous improvement in facing several challenges. Bamboo is one of the well-known and wide spread plants all around the globe. It is characterized by multifaceted merits such as high stiffness and fiber strength, ease of processing, sustainable use of fibers, eco-friendliness and rapid plant growing cycle. Bamboo fiber reinforced composites are considered to possess enhanced environmental friendliness than any other synthetic fiber reinforced composites such as glass fiber reinforced composites and they render less impact over the environment, same performance for the similar fiber content and allowing reduced use of toxic base polymers. This chapter deals with a comprehensive view of individual bamboo fiber reinforced composites as well as hybridization of bamboo fibers with other fibers. This may pave way for the researchers working on bamboo fibers to reach newer heights in terms of properties and applications.
