Abstract

In this study, for the first time, attempts to research banana fibers (Musa sapientum), as a new sustainability composite reinforcement material have been taken, which their composition and morphology were affected by chemical treatment with NaOH solution. NaOH treatment on banana fiber: structure and mechanical performance Within the context of this research, the effect of NaOH treatment on the structural integrity of polymeric composites is presented by highlighting differences in both chemical (Figure 2a) and physical properties (quasi-static tensile behaviors) between abaca fibers treated with different concentrations[57]. In this work, two treatment concentrations were implemented (5 wt% and 10 wt%) under controlled circumstances. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) characterized surface morphology, while Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analyzed chemical modifications. The mechanical performances of the tensile testing were presented: The Tensile strength and Young's modulus were significantly higher in 5 wt% NaOH, and so less amount of other materials removed from raw jackfruit seeds caused increasing solid surface roughness improving fiber matrix interfacial interaction In comparison, 10 wt% NaOH treatment causes a deterioration in structure and mechanical properties Thus, the results demonstrate that careful optimization of alkaline treatment conditions is essential for improving natural fibers performances and promoting them as fillers of eco-friendly composite materials.
