Elucidating the effect of stacking sequence on water absorption, flexural, and impact properties of banana pseudostem fiber?reinforced unsaturated polyester composites

Banana pseudostem fiber has been increasingly utilized as reinforcement for composite materials owing to its numerous advantages, such as low density, high availability, and eco-friendliness. Since banana fiber is generally discarded as waste material, it is considered a potential reinforcing materi...

The main goal of this research study is to investigate the impact of fiber stacking orientation on the water absorption, flexural, and impact properties of banana pseudostem fiber?reinforced unsaturated polyester (UPE) composites. The banana composites with varying stacking orientations were prepared using the hand layup technique.
