Abstract
Bamboo fibers were employed to replace glass fiber on unsaturated polyester resins. In this context, this document presents a study case to use Guadua Angustifolia kunt (GAK) as reinforcement in a polymeric matrix base. This study includes analysis about tensile resistance tensile strength, Young´s modulus, flexural strength and flexural modulus of short bamboo fiber polymeric composite reinforced. In the development of this paper shown the method of elaboration of Polymeric composite bamboo fibers reinforced 30 % by volume. This polymeric composite reduces the final product cost and make it environment friendly reducing high rate of plastics wastes accumulating in the dumps of the cities.
