The effect of aging temperature on mechanical properties of banana pseudostem fiber reinforced polymer composite

Polymer composites using natural fibers as the reinforcing agents have found their use in many applications. The initial development of polymer composite based on high density polyethylene (HDPE) with banana pseudostem fiber was studied based on the effect of non-aging and aging treatments. Tensile,...
