Popis:	Biocomposite from bamboo powder was fabricated by compression molding technique. The objective of this study was to investigate the mechanical properties of bamboo compounded with epoxy with different ratio. Tensile and flexural tests were done to characterize its mechanical properties. It was observed that the strength of bamboo-polyester was increased with increasing amount of bamboo powder. The tensile and flexural strength shows the highest value at 25 wt.% bamboo. However, the impact test shows the maximum value at 20 wt.% bamboo powder. These results exhibit the bamboo-polyester can be a good candidate to be used in many engineering applications
