The investigation of the mechanical behaviour of Bamboo fibre (Bambusa Vulgaris) reinforced unsaturated polyester resin has been carried out in this work. The composites have been fabricated manually using the hand lay-up method. The purpose of the work is to develop a suitable alternative as a replacement for synthetic materials in industries. Five different weight fraction of fibre/matrix have been developed and investigated for their mechanical properties such as tensile strength and tensile modulus in accordance to test standard of ASTM D3039/D3039M-17. The ratio used for bamboo fibre and unsaturated polyester resin is 10:90, 15:85, 20:80 and 25:75. The pulping pre-treatment process was used to extract the fibre. The surface failure of the specimen has been determined from the tensile test and fractography failure is also discussed in this study. The results from this research will provide understanding of bamboo composite properties for future flooring.

竹子寻常型增强不饱和聚酯树脂的拉伸性能研究

这项工作已经进行了对竹纤维（Bambusa Vulgaris）增强的不饱和聚酯树脂的机械性能的研究。复合材料已经使用手工铺层方法手工制造。这项工作的目的是开发一种合适的替代品，以替代工业中的合成材料。根据ASTM D3039 / D3039M-17的测试标准，已开发出五种不同重量分数的纤维/基体，以研究其机械性能，例如拉伸强度和拉伸模量。竹纤维和不饱和聚酯树脂的比例为10：90、15：85、20：80和25:75。制浆预处理过程用于提取纤维。样品的表面破坏已经通过拉伸试验确定，并且在本研究中还讨论了断裂断裂。这项研究的结果将为未来的地板提供对竹复合材料性能的理解。
