Microstructural, Thermal, and Tensile Characterization of Banana Pseudo-stem Fibers Obtained with Mechanical, Chemical, and Enzyme Extraction

Microstructural, Thermal, and Tensile Characterization of Banana Pseudo-stem Fibers Obtained with Mechanical, Chemical, and Enzyme Extraction

Banana pseudo-stem fibers (BPSFs) have desirable tensile properties. In this study, BPSFs were extracted using mechanical, chemical, and enzymatic methods. The aim was to evaluate the effect of these three extraction methods on the tensile, thermal, and morphological properties of BPSFs. Microstruct...
