Cotton bamboo fibers were prepared by mechanical method and their diameter were about 9- 26 µm. Surface composition and morphology of fibers were studied. The analytic result shown that most of hemicellulose and lignin were removed. There is a strong and sharp peak in the untreated bamboo spectra at about 1736 cm-1 corresponding to carbonyl group (C=O), but this peak disappeared in alkaline treated bamboo spectra. Epoxy composites reinforced cotton bamboo fiber have been developed with varying fiber contents. The variation of tensile and bending strengths with fiber contents have been studied and they were found to be maximum for the fiber content of 38 wt%. The bending and tensile strengths were MPa and 114 MPa, respectively.
