Abstract: Over the past thirty years of composite materials history says that it has been the dominant emerging materials which have proved with their weight to strength ratio, but the present scenario is to do them cost effective. Presently our work is been focused on the development of the composite by the use of sugarcane bagasse fibre in order to study its mechanical properties. Many of the researches are on going towards these natural fibre composites in order to replace few materials like plastic and ceramics. In this work we have focused on the preparation of a polymer matrix composite using sugarcane bagasse fibre which intern helpful to study regarding its mechanical behavior. For this we have adopted the basic hand lying method, which is a easy and reliable methods. The bagasse was successively treated with 14% Toulene solution and then later with 1M Citric acid and was sun-dried. Composites having different percentage weight fraction of 0, 2.5, 5, 7.5 % of sugarcane bagasse fibre for different laminates were made. Later it has cutted or prepared for the tests and the interfacial behaviour of these composites was determined by tensile test and flexural test.
