Characterization of Musa paradisiaca L. Cellulosic Natural Fibers from Agro-discarded Blossom Petal Waste

Musa paradisiaca L. blossom petal (MPBP) fibers are extracted from banana plant agro-based domestic waste. The properties of MPBP fibers were reported for the first time in this communication. X-ray diffraction analysis showed the crystallinity index and size of 56.71% and 16.38 nm, respectively. Th...
