“…The true area of each fiber was used in this work in the calculation of the tensile mechanical properties. The results obtained are listed in Table 2, and agree with values reported on the literature, showing that abaca fibers are high strength-medium modulus fibers [22]. Included in Table 2 is the tenacity of the fiber, defined as the area under the stress-strain curve, and expressed as strain energy density or the strain energy by unit volume.…”

This work presents tensile mechanical properties, thermal properties, and morphological and structural characteristics of Abaca (Musa textiles) fibers. The results show that the fiber is thermally stable up to 250°C, with a crystalline index higher than 65%. The digital image analysis of the fiber's cross-section revealed that the fibers present a high variability of their average cross-section dimension and shape. The tensile mechanical properties place abaca as high strength – medium modulus fiber, with tensile strength values varying between 511-1051 MPa, and Young's modulus varying between 13.5–29.8 GPa.

“…Regarding potential industrial application, fiber strength is one of the most important characteristics. Natural fibers include sisal (Li et al, 2008), flax (Zhang et al, 2013), ramie (Yu et al, 2014), bamboo (Takagi and Ichihara, 2004), and abaca (Liu et al, 2013) exhibit good strength and are thus suitable for fabrication of fiber-reinforced composites.…”

“…28 The fiber is made up of around 60% cellulose, 21% hemicellulose, 12-16% lignin and 1% pectin. 29 Its stiffness and strength are imparted by three important microstructural features: a high Runkel ratio, which denotes a high cell wall volume to lumen width (empty cavity within the fiber) proportion 30 ; a high cellulose to hemicellulose and lignin content 25 ; and a microfibril angle with orientation close to the fiber bundle 31 . Abaca fiber can be classified into ten normal, four residual and one uncategorized quality grades as prescribed by the Philippine Fiber Industry Development Authority (PhilFIDA).…”

Fiber-reinforced polymer composites have received increased attention due to their environmental friendliness and sustainability, aside from at par-if not betterproperty enhancement achieved through fiber reinforcement over mineral-based fillers. The purpose of this article is to provide a comprehensive review on the various methods of fiber-based polymer composites preparation as well as their applications, particularly focusing on abaca-reinforced hybrid materials. Among the natural fibers available in the market, abaca fiber has been a major contender in the development of natural fiber composites. It has a great potential to be a renewable fiber source for industrial and technological applications owing to its inherent high mechanical strength, durability, flexibility and long fiber length. Impacts of different treatment strategies of abaca-based composites preparation resulting in property enhancements over bare polymer counterparts and that of synthetic fibers are discussed. Being eco-friendly and naturally sustainable, abaca fiber-reinforced composites can also exhibit better strength without substantial weight gaincharacteristics that have been exploited in various commercial and technological uses. How these enhanced properties of the resulting composites had led in a wide range of applications such as in the automobile and construction industries and other fields had been included as well.
