Strength Properties of Surface-Modified Giant Cavendish (Musa acuminata) Banana Fibers

Strength Properties of Surface-Modified Giant Cavendish (Musa acuminata) Banana Fibers

This study focused on examining and comparing the strength properties of untreated and surface-modified Giant Cavendish banana fibers. The banana fibers were mercerized using 0.06 M Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) and treated using 0.003 M Potassium Permanganate (KMnO4) solutions. The untreated and surface-...
