Abstract
Nowadays, there is an increase in the number of ecologically aware studies and their practical applications, such as the development and use of alternative environment-friendly materials. The use of green composites may be a suitable method for replacing glass fiber-reinforced plastics. In order to apply green composites to actual products, the strain rate dependence of the mechanical properties due to its visco-elasticity should be quantitatively investigated. On the other hands, it is well known that the shape distributions including fiber aspect ratio for reinforcements affect on the mechanical properties of the injection molding products. In this study, the effect of bamboo fiber aspect ratio and fiber contents on the strain rate dependence of the mechanical properties was investigated.
