This study was addressed to the investigation of the impact properties and fracture behaviour of biodegradable composites made from egg albumen reinforced by natural cotton fibres. The albumen-cotton composites have been fabricated by hands lay-up technique at varied volume fiber fraction from 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 vol.% cotton. The specimens were cured at room temperature for a fixed time of 14 days to ensure the specimens are fully dried and harden, before being subjected to mechanical test. The cotton fibres have contributed in a significant improvement in fracture toughness of the composites. The obtained impact strength varied from 15.0 to 19.0 kJ/m2, and the fracture toughness varied from 0.7177 to 0.9453 J depending on vol.% cotton, with the optimum mechanical performance was obtained at 6 vol.% cotton. Morphological observation using SEM revealed that most of the fabricated specimens failed due to fiber breakage, pull out, and void growth.
