Tensile, compressive, and fracture behavior of Habeshian chopped banana/epoxy core sandwich woven banana composite

A significant agricultural biomass with the intrinsic potential for lingo-cellulosic fiber is eliminated as garbage after harvesting in underdeveloped countries. The effective use of these natural fibers is one strategy to ensure a sustainable economy and reduce environmental pollution caused by syn...

The effective use of these natural fibers is one strategy to ensure a sustainable economy and reduce environmental pollution caused by synthetic fibers. The present work focuses on fabricating a core with uniformly dispersed Habeshian short banana fiber sandwiched between woven banana fiber composites.

The tensile and compressive properties enhance with increase in the short banana fiber content in core indicating beneficial advantages of reinforcing banana fibers to improve the compressive properties. Fracture toughness of composite also increase with increase in the chopped banana fiber content. The increase in the core wt.% has conveyed an enhancement in properties of composites till 10 wt.%.
