Abstract: Characteristically, polymers consist of the long chain molecules constructed of atoms (such as carbon and hydrogen) in the various arrangements with the different elements in the forming of basic building block of a polymer chain. Besides its primacy to the safety and environmental issues, polymer is becoming more widely used in today's industrial products due to its inherent advantages, such as inexpensive, durable, and flexible. Based on this reason, this study review the mixing of polymer with natural fibers (Bamboo) as an alternative of natural materials based on the potential properties as the reinforcing materials in polymer composite. This paper reviews the topic of bamboo mechanical properties in polymer composite. It highlights previous work done in bamboo fiber in terms of the reinforcement composite material. This literature study will be a good source for those who are interested in doing research for this topic.
