Study of properties of banana fiber reinforced compositeseSAT Journals
Abstract Natural fiber composites are nowadays being used in various engineering applications to increase the strength and to optimise the weight and the cost of the product. Various natural fibres such as coir, sisal, jute, coir and banana are used as reinforcement materials. In this paper both treated and untreated banana fiber are taken for the development of the hybrid composite material. The untreated banana fiber is treated by sodium hydroxide to increase the wettability. The untreated banana fiber and sodium hydroxide treated banana fiber are used as reinforcing material for both Epoxy resin matrix and Vinyl ester resin matrix. Coconut shell powder is used along with both untreated and treated banana fiber as a reinforcing material. In this process the banana fiber is treated with 5% of sodium hydroxide for one hour and the specimen is fabricated by hand moulding process. The mould used for fabricating the hybrid composite material is made up of aluminium with a debonding agent applied on the inner side. The banana fiber content is kept constant to 30% of weight fraction of entire composite material. The variation in mechanical properties are studied and analyzed. Here, the tensile strength has calculated by universal testing machine, impact strength has calculated by pendulum impact tester and flexural strength has calculated by universal testing machine with flexural test arrangement of the specimen. Then the treated and untreated specimens are analyzed and compared through Scanning Electron Microscope to study about its adhesion between fiber and resin matrix and surface morphology.

Investigation was carried out through experimental study on Silicon Carbide (SiC) filled, different combination of hybrid composites to determine the ‘two body’ abrasive wear behavior. Freshly fabricated Glass-Jute-Epoxy, Glass –Sisal-Epoxy and Glass-Rubber-Epoxy composites with different weight percentage of silicon carbide filler was subjected to two body abrasive wear test under normal room temperature in dry condition on pin-on-disc equipment using 300 grit SiC sand papers. Abrasive paper was stuck on to the rotating disc and test specimen was attached to the flat surface of the pin. The effect of filler content on the (0%,5%,10% ) was studied for 20N load for different sliding distance (25m,50m,75m,100m). The results reveal that the material with increases in filler content is prone to higher wear resistance. The polymer composites with 10% SiC showed least wear loss in all the combination under consideration and lowest wear loss was achieved in glass rubber epoxy and10% SiC combination.

FIBRE TO FARIC
A Material which is available in the form of thin and continuous stand is called Fibre.
The thin strands of thread that we see are made up of still thinner strands called Fibres.
The cloth produced by weaving or knitting textile fibre is called Fabric.
There are two types of fibres, vi
1. Natural Fibre
2. Man – Made fibre or Synthetic Fibre
Cotton is the most widely used natural fiber. It consists of pure cellulose and is produced in countries like China, Brazil, India, Pakistan, and the USA. Textiles refer to any material made of interlacing fibers or yarns, which are produced by spinning raw fibers like cotton into long strands. The production of textiles has been altered by industrialization through modern manufacturing techniques, though basic weaving methods remain similar to ancient methods.
This document provides information about various plant-based fibers including kenaf, piña, and milkweed. Kenaf is a 4000-year old crop originating from Africa that is tall and slender, resembling bamboo. It has good tensile strength and moisture absorption. Piña fiber is obtained from pineapple leaves and used commonly in the Philippines. It is soft, light-weight, and ivory or white in color. Milkweed fiber is a soft, buoyant floss used as fiberfill that is yellowish-white in color and degrades at high temperatures.
Fibers can be divided into natural fibers and man-made or chemical fibers. Natural fibers include vegetable fibers like cotton, linen and jute, animal fibers like wool and silk, and mineral fibers like asbestos. Man-made fibers include regenerated fibers made from natural polymers like cellulose or protein, and synthetic fibers made from chemicals. Fibers are classified based on their origin, length, size and chemical composition to standardize and easily identify them.
This document discusses different types of fibers used in textiles, including their properties and classifications. It covers natural fibers like cotton, wool, silk; synthetic or man-made fibers like polyester, nylon; and their key characteristics. Natural fibers are biodegradable but vary by origin as animal, plant or mineral sources. Synthetic fibers are manufactured using petrochemicals or cellulose. The document also examines properties of specific fibers in more detail like cotton being absorbent and easy to care for, wool being warmer and more elastic, and silk having luster and strength.
Jute is a natural fiber obtained from the stems of the jute plant. It is the second most produced textile fiber in the world after cotton. India, China, and Bangladesh are leading producers. The fiber goes through cultivation, harvesting, retting, stripping, washing, drying, baling, and packing processes. Jute has good antistatic properties but low crease resistance and drape. It is biodegradable and used widely in sacks, carpets, rugs, and other products due to its low cost. However, it has poor strength when wet and loses strength with sunlight.
1. Abstract:
Banana is one of the important fruit crop cultivated in tropical parts of the world. Banana
farming generates huge quantity of biomass all of which goes as waste and the above ground
parts like peduncle are the major source of fiber. Banana fibre is a good alternative to all the
synthetic and natural fibres. Banana fibre is eco-friendly, chemical-free, nontoxic and odour
free. The natural coolant and medicinal property of banana fibres helps in the health of its user
and is 100% safe as no harmful chemicals and colours are used. Mechanical properties like tex
and fiber diameter decides the fineness. Banana plant is available throughout Thailand and
Southeast Asian, India, Bangladesh, Indonesia Malaysia, Philippines, Hawaii, and some Pacific
islands.
Introduction:
Banana plant or plantain plant not only gives the delicious fruit but it also provides textile fiber
the banana fiber. Banana fiber is natural fiber. Natural fibers present important advantages such
as low density appropriate stiffness and mechanical properties and high disposability and
renewability. Moreover, they are recyclable and biodegradable. There has been lot of research on
use of natural fibers in reinforcements. Banana fiber a ligno-cellulosic fiber obtained from the
pseudo-stem of banana plant is a bast fiber with relatively good mechanical properties. Banana
plant is a large perennial herb with leaf sheaths that form pseudo stem. Its height can be 10-40
feet (3.0-12.2 meters) surrounding with 8-12 large leaves. The leaves are up to 9 feet long and 2
feet wide (2.7 meters and 0.61 meter).
Banana fiber Extraction Process:
The knowledge of extracting fiber and paper from banana was well known since the 13th
Century when Japanese processed it. However, it was a time-consuming and costly process
where banana stems were first boiled in lye to soften them and then prepared from shredding to
extract yarn. They produced banana fibers of varying degrees of softness yielding yarns and
textiles with differing qualities for specific uses.
The outer sheath from the banana stem is first peeled off the inner layers are flattened and fibers
are stripped off either manually or through machines. Heaps of banana stems are piled up near at
the processing unit and workers begin slicing the banana stems into thin strands. These sliced
stem pieces are then passed through the machine on the fixed platform that separates the gummy
2. lignin and water content from it. The shredded fiber is then cleaned and dried in the sun before
being bundled into yarn that makes notepads, stationery items, lampshades, and handicraft.
Some component of banana fiber machine:
1. Machinery is developed by German technology with 1 H.P. single phase motor.
2. Easy to Mobilize (Portable)
3. Ladies can operate, less maintenance, and safe to operate.
4. User friendly & Economic.
5. Clean work atmosphere.
6. Fifty times increase in fiber production compared to manual process.
7. Superior quality fiber in terms of length, softness and color.
Characteristics of Banana Fibers:
Banana fiber has its own physical and chemical characteristics and many other properties that
make it a fine quality fiber.
Appearance of banana fiber is similar to that of bamboo fiber and ramie fiber but its
fineness and spinnability is better than the two.
The chemical composition of banana fiber is cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin.
It is highly strong fiber.
It has smaller elongation.
It has somewhat shiny appearance depending upon the extraction & spinning process.
It is light weight.
It has strong moisture absorption quality. It absorbs as well as releases moisture very
fast.
3. It is bio-degradable and has no negative effect on environment and thus can be
categorized as eco-friendly fiber.
Its average fineness is 2400Nm.
It can be spun through almost all the methods of spinning including ring spinning open
end spinning, bast fiber spinning, and semi-worsted spinning among others.
Banana fabric is soft and supple though not quite as soft as cotton or rayon. Nearly all
plant stem-based fibres are a little more stiff and coarse than cotton or rayon. Its natural
shimmer makes it look a lot like silk.
Chemical Treatment of banana:
The fibers were then treated with 5% of NaOH for one hour to increase the wet ability. The
fibers are then washed thoroughly with distilled water. Fibers are then dried in oven for 2 hours
at 100°C to remove the moisture present in it. The Banana fibers are used as reinforcement in
both epoxy and vinyl ester resin and coconut shell power is mixed with banana fiber to be used
as reinforcement material to form hybrid composite.
Figure: Alkali treated of banana fiber
Physical Treatment of banana:
Tensile Test: The testing is done using electronic tensile testing machine to measure the force
required to break a polymer composite specimen and the extent to which the specimen stretches
or elongates to that breaking point and cross head speed of 2mm/min and a gauge length of 115
mm.
Flexural Test: Flexural strength is defined as a materials ability to resist deformation under
load. It is a 3-point bend test, which generally promotes failure by inter-laminar shear.The
maximum fiber stress at failure on the tension side of a flexural specimen is considered the
flexural strength of the material.
Fine structure and appearance: commercial banana and jute fibers are in the form of strands
containing many individual fibers held together by natural gums. Both have good natural luster.
4. Their color depends up on the condition under which they have been processed; good quality
banana/jute is off-white, where as some poor quality fiber is nearly yellowish.
Length: The strand length varies greatly depending on the precise source and treatment of the
fiber during fiber extraction. If the fiber is removed from the full length of the sheaths, as in hand
or machine stripping fiber strands from the middle sheaths may run as long as 15ft or more;
average length ranges from 3 to 15 ft.
Tenacity modulus and elasticity: When we see the load elongation or stress strain property,
banana fiber has less tenacity and elasticity property than jute fiber.

Tenacity 29.98 g/denier
Fineness 17.15
Moisture Regain 13.00%
Elongation 6.54
Alco-ben Extractives 1.70%
Total Cellulose 81.80%

Banana Fiber Extraction Processing, Yarn Spinning & Weaving:
The extraction of the natural fiber from the plant required certain care to avoid damage. In the
present experiments initially the banana plant sections were cut from the main stem of the plant
and then rolled lightly to remove the excess moisture. Impurities in the rolled fibers such as
pigments, broken fibers, coating of cellulose etc. were removed manually by means of comb and
then the fibers were cleaned and dried. This mechanical and manual extraction of banana fibers
was tedious time consuming and caused damage to the fiber. Consequently, this type of
technique cannot be recommended for industrial application. A special machine was designed
and developed for the extraction of banana fibers in a mechanically automated manner. It
consisted mainly of two horizontal beams whereby a carriage with an attached and specially
designed comb could move back and forth. The fiber extraction using this technique could be
performed simply by placing a cleaned part of the banana stem on the fixed platform of the
5. machine and clamped at the ends by jaws. This eliminated relative movement of the stem and
avoided premature breakage of the fibers. This was followed by cleaning and drying of the fibers
in a chamber at 2000
𝐶 for three hours. These fibers were then labeled and ready for lamination
process.

After fiber is collected, the process goes to yarn spinning. The researcher investigated the
traditional process, which use the filament yarns in weaving banana fabric. The finding showed
that the convention process was very time-consuming, thus not appropriate for today’s use.
Therefore, this research explored open-ended spinning process for yarn development. The fiber
was cut in to 3-centimeter length for spinning process.
After yarn spinning, weaving is done in the looms as per normal process like any other material:

Applications of Banana Fiber:
1. The banana fiber is extensively used as a blending material in textile industry.
2. Banana fiber is used in Pulp industry.
3. A wide range of Handicrafts are made in Banana fiber.
6. Uses of Banana fibers:
In the recent past, banana fiber had a very limited application and was primarily used for making
items like ropes, mats, and some other composite materials. With the increasing environmental
awareness and growing importance of eco-friendly fabrics, banana fiber has also been
recognized for all its good qualities and now its application is increasing in other fields too such
as apparel garments and home furnishings. However, in Japan, it is being used for making
traditional dresses like kimono, and kamishimo since the Edo period (1600-1868). Due to its
being lightweight and comfortable to wear, it is still preferred by people there as summer wear.
Banana fiber is also used to make fine cushion covers, Neckties, bags, table cloths, curtains etc.
Rugs made from banana silk yarn fibers are also very popular all over the world.
Fig: Uses of Banana fibers.
Problem:
Plastics and paper are the binding forces that help our information age to proceed further and
conquer new frontiers. However, both these essential goods are sourced from non-renewable
sources such as petroleum and forest trees. There is an urgent need to find alternatives to plastic
polymers since they are non-biodegradable as well which persist in the environment for ages.
Paper consumption was expected to go down steadily with the onset of the electronic age, but it
is nowhere near reduction. Further, the conventional method of making paper is highly polluting,
which uses numerous chemicals for treating the wood fibers to form pulp, and in the process of
getting papers of acceptable properties.
CONCLUSION:
In this work, Mechanical properties of untreated alkali treated banana fiber epoxy, untreated
alkali treated banana fiber vinyl ester and treated banana or coconut shell powder epoxy treated
banana or coconut shell powder vinyl ester hybrid composites were investigated. It has been
observed from the literatures were compared the resulting mechanical properties. The tensile
flexural and impact properties of the composites as a function of fiber content were analyzed.
The surface modification by alkali treatment has improved the Mechanical properties than
untreated fiber composites. The alkali treatment of banana fiber has improved the mechanical
properties like tensile flexural and impact strength of both the epoxy vinyl ester and hybrid
composite. Therefore it is conclusive from the above result that the alkali treatment has provided
better mechanical properties.
