Short bamboo fiber reinforced polycarbonate toughened epoxy composites are developed using varied fiber lengths. The variation of tensile strength with varied fiber length has been studied. The optimum length of fiber is found in this experimental study. Theses composites also showed good chemical resistance to some acids, alkalis and solvents.
