Abstract
A hybrid composite material is developed and characterized. Short bamboo and glass fibers were used as reinforcements to polypropylene (PP)-base matrices. Maleic anhydride modified PP (MAPP) was used as compatibilizer to enhance the adhesion between the fiber and the matrix. The effects of fiber content, bamboo to glass fiber ratio, fiber length, and MAPP content on mechanical properties of bamboo fiber reinforced plastic and bamboo-glass fiber reinforced plastics (BGRP) were studied.
