Now-a-days, The natural sisal/bamboos from renewable natural resources offer the potential to act as a reinforcing material for polymer composites alternative to the use of glass, carbon and wood. Among various natural fibers, sisal or bamboo is most widely used natural fiber due to its advantages like easy availability, low density, low production cost and satisfactory mechanical properties. For a composite material, its mechanical behavior depends on many factors such as fiber content, orientation, types, length etc. Attempts have been made in this research work to study the effect of loading on the physical and mechanical behavior of sisal/bamboo reinforced epoxy-based hybrid composites.
