The effects of alkali treatment on the mechanical and chemical properties of banana fibre and adhesion to epoxy resin

The main focus of this study was to obtain the optimum alkaline treatment for banana fibre and the its effect on the mechanical and chemical properties of banana fibre, its surface topography, its heat resistivity, as well as its interfacial bonding with epoxy matrix. Banana fibre was treated with s...
