Abstract
In research, there are many advanced methods in material science but attention should be kept on some of the areas. One such area is natural-reinforced composites. In this work, the natural fiber is bamboo fiber along with filler material. Fly ash has been taken into consideration. Extraction of fibers from jute, coir, and bamboo belongs to this category. To enhance the properties of polymers, various filler materials such as silica, fly ash, etc. are used along with natural fiber-reinforced composite. In this project, bamboo fiber hybrid composites are fabricated with polypropylene along with 10% wt concentration of fly ash. Concentration of fiber was varied up to 25% by weight, and the test specimens were prepared by injection molding. Bending properties were tested using tensometer. Bending strength and bending moment were increased with the increment of weight % of fiber in the composition.
