Abstract

Abstract In Indian agriculture, the banana production is one of the largest. Increase the use of banana fiber is adding the value of agricultural waste from banana trees. Even though many researchers reported the banana fiber based hybrid composites, this research is unique by synthesizing and material weight fractions. The maleic acid treated 10 mm long banana fibers proposed. The fifteen different composites were synthesized and characterized by the mechanical properties like fracture toughness, tensile strength, and flexural strength. The treated and untreated banana fibers varied 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40% and 45% weight fractions in the glass/banana hybrid composites. The treated banana fiber / glass hybrid composites out performs. The composites which exhibited appreciable mechanical properties identified and discussed.
