Empirical Study on the Developmental Process of Banana Fiber Polymer Reinforced Composites (original) (raw)

2024, European Journal of Advances in Engineering and Technology

Recently, there has been a high increase in research in the field of natural fiber composite. These composites have been the dominant emerging materials thereby substituting conventional materials in agriculture, construction, aerospace and automotive industries. They have lots of advantages and applications which are economical and biodegradable. Such of these natural fibers includes banana, hemp, flax, Abaca, bamboo sisal, jute, acacia, etc. This work aimed at studying the different processes involved in the development of Banana Fiber Reinforced Polymer composite (BFRPC) with special reference on the extraction methods, the treatment method, the molding techniques, their properties and applications in industries. It is hoped that publication of this book will provide the readers better knowledge and understanding on the manufacturing processes of Banana Fiber Composites.
