Bamboo, a natural fiber, has been gaining researchers’ attention in the last decades as a reinforcement material
in polymer composites due to their advantages over synthetic fibers. However, the mechanical properties of bamboo
composites could not compete with synthetic fiber composites such as Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP). This work
combined bamboo strips with GFRP to create a hybrid composite. This research aims to investigate the effect of stacking
sequence on GFRP/bamboo hybrid composites filled with 5wt% activated carbon derived from coconut shell. Samples with
different stacking order were prepared, with number of lamina fixed to 4 for every specimens. All fibers are aligned at 0˚.
5wt% of activated carbon derived from coconut shell were also added to the composite. The tensile properties of these
specimens along with comparative analysis are presented. It has been observed that the stacking sequence has more
influence on the mechanical properties than the addition of another layer
