The influence of alkali treatment on banana fibre’s mechanical properties
This work analyses the effect of alkali treatment on the mechanical properties of banana fibre (Musa Paradisiaca). Fibres were extracted from the pseudostem by a defibring machine; they were mercerised and modified by 5% NaOH (w/v) alkali treatment. Morphological characterisation showed that treated...
