IMPACT OF ALKALINE TREATMENT ON THE CONSTITUENTS, STRENGTH AND MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF BANANA FIBER

The readily availability of natural fibers have made them to be less expensive compared to the synthetic fibers. Hence, highest substitute for synthetic fibers in composites development today is natural fibers. In this research, banana fiber was extracted by dew retting and treated with alkaline for...
