ABSTRACT
The advancement of polymer composites containing natural fibers as a manageable
option material for certain designing applications, especially aviation and car ap-
plications, is a well-known area of investigation. Nevertheless, the high mechanical
properties connected with synthetic fibers they are awesome and lavish contrasted
with natural fibers. The utilization of natural plant fibers and mixes of natural and
synthetic fibers for making ease building materials has produced much interest
recently. In the present work, bamboo–glass hybrid polyester composites were
produced and their mechanical properties like elasticity and flexural quality were
assessed for different weight fraction and distinctive stacking sequence. The outcomes
observed that bamboo–glass mixture composites offered the benefits of both natural
and synthetic fibers. It is also observed that hybridization started a material with
general intermediate properties between pure glass and pure bamboo. However, the
significance of controlling the stacking grouping to upgrade properties was evident.
