Abstract
). Conversely, the highest water absorption capacity was observed in composites with 6 % bamboo micro filler. Overall, the tensile, flexural, impact, and water absorption properties of the hybrid composites were significantly influenced by the weight fractions of the fibers and bamboo micro filler.
