“…In previous study, Van-Pham et al [10] mentioned that mechanical properties of unidirectional banana fiber-reinforced composites were generally affected by several processing parameters during fabrication. Ahmed et al [11] stated that mechanical properties of banana reinforced acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) were influenced by fiber loading and chemical treatment. In addition, the effect of banana fiber surface treatment and matrix modification using compatibilizer on the mechanical properties of the low-density polyethylene (LDPE)/banana fiber composites was evaluated by Prasad et al [12].…”

Banana fiber has potential to be utilized in bio-based composite structures due to its low price, abundantly available and biodegradability. However, the performance of this fiber is still not comparable to the synthetic polymeric system. In this work, the thermal stability analysis and tensile test of optimized banana fiber that was initially evaluated using response surface method were conducted. The thermal analysis and the tensile test were conducted using thermogravimetric analyzer and universal testing machine respectively. It was shown that the banana fiber content offered an outstanding performance in thermal stability. The highest thermal stability however, was found in neat epoxy resin system. The TG and DTG results showed the lowest amount of residue occurred in banana/epoxy composite. The tensile data properties revealed that banana composite is comparable to synthetic samples

“…Further, the highest improvement of 4%, 11%, 14.5%, and 11.1% for Young's modulus and tensile, flexural, and impact strengths, respectively, was found for a 25% banana fiber loading that had been treated with alkali compared to values for neat LDPE [8]. In another study, Ahmed et al [9] stated that 10% banana fiber loading treated with 5% alkaline suspension achieved the highest mechanical properties for acrylonitrile butadiene styrene. Venkateshwaran et al [10] reported that an increase in banana fiber length of up to 15 mm and a 16% weight ratio increases the tensile strength and modulus of a banana/epoxy composite.…”

Banana fiber has a high potential for use in fiber composite structures due to its promise as a polymer reinforcement. However, it has poor bonding characteristics with the matrixes due to hydrophobic–hydrophilic incompatibility, inconsistency in blending weight ratio, and fiber length instability. In this study, the optimal conditions for a banana/epoxy composite as determined previously were used to fabricate a sandwich structure where carbon/Kevlar twill plies acted as the skins. The structure was evaluated based on two experimental tests: low-velocity impact and compression after impact (CAI) tests. Here, the synthetic fiber including Kevlar, carbon, and glass sandwich structures were also tested for comparison purposes. In general, the results showed a low peak load and larger damage area in the optimal banana/epoxy structures. The impact damage area, as characterized by the dye penetration, increased with increasing impact energy. The optimal banana composite and synthetic fiber systems were proven to offer a similar residual strength and normalized strength when higher impact energies were applied. Delamination and fracture behavior were dominant in the optimal banana structures subjected to CAI testing. Finally, optimization of the compounding parameters of the optimal banana fibers improved the impact and CAI properties of the structure, making them comparable to those of synthetic sandwich composites.
