Realizing the need for conservation of environment due to contamination caused as a result of disposal of non-biodegradable waste. It has compelled researchers to search a new green material as a substitute to these toxic materials. The present research work focused on particularly the effective usage of Cellulose nanocrystalline (CNC) extracted from bamboo fibers as reinforcement in PLA/PBS polymeric blend. Polymer blend composites were fabricated using the hot-pressing technique with varying CNC contents. The morphological and mechanical properties of the composite samples with varying CNC contents were investigated. The results revealed that there was a positive effect of incorporation of CNC (extracted from bamboo fibers) on the properties of the polymer matrix.
