Bamboo fibers reinforced composites with poly lactic acid and poly butylene suc­cinate are easily degraded by enzymes like proteinase K and lipase PS. Degradation rate of these composites is reduced by the addition of lysine based diisocyanate (LDI), which also enhances their tensile properties, water resistance, and inter facial adhesion (Lee and Wang 2006). Bamboo fibers obtained from compression molding technique and roller mill technique are reinforced into unidirectional composites of polyester. These composites are highly degradable by the use of enzymes (Deshpande et al. 2000). Water bamboo husk and poly butylene succinate novel reinforced com­posites are biodegradable in nature (Shih et al. 2006). Bamboo fiber filled poly lactic acid composites are ecocomposites as they are biodegradable and save the environment from pollution (Lee et al. 2005). Micro-sized bamboo fibers and modi­fied soy protein resin are used to fabricate environmentally friendly composites.

These composites have increased fracture stress and young’s modulus. These composites are fully biodegradable and have a great potential to replace traditional and expensive petroleum based materials in many applications (Huang and Netravali

2009) . Bamboo fiber reinforced in poly butylene succinate matrix produces long fiber unidirectional composites. These composites have high values for tensile and mechanical properties. The mechanical properties are enhanced as the amount of bamboo fiber is increased. Young’s modulus of these composites is predicted by laminate theory but experimental results show that ratio obtained by laminate theory is lower than the actual (Ogihara et al. 2008).
