Experimental Investigation of Aloe Vera-Treated False Banana (<i>Ensete Ventricosum</i>) Fibre-Reinforced Polypropylene Composite

Experimental Investigation of Aloe Vera-Treated False Banana (<i>Ensete Ventricosum</i>) Fibre-Reinforced Polypropylene Composite

This research work investigates the effects of the concentration and treatment of chopped false banana (<i>Ensete ventricosum</i>) fibres on the mechanical properties of a polypropylene matrix. The chopped false banana fibres (FBFs) were modified using Aloe Vera gel following treatment w...
