Abstract
Abstract
Background
The areas of application of natural fibres have gained popularity in recent times due to their attractive advantages when compared with other materials of engineering. These advantages include lightness, cost-effectiveness, and ease of processing, ecological friendliness, and durability. Previously, farmers only harvest Musa spp. fruits for their food values and packaging purposes.
Main body of the abstract
Several research works have been undertaken which accentuate the applications of the assumed waste portions of Musa spp. (banana and plantain) specifically Musa spp. fibre as a reinforcement material in composite manufacture. As a material for reinforcement in composites, the characterization, treatment, and fabrication techniques; elemental, chemical, and mechanical properties of Musa spp. fibre have been analysed. The mechanical properties of banana fibre reinforcement in polyester, epoxy, cement, and plastics composites were evaluated with those of other biodegradable fibres to explicate their relationships.
Short conclusion
This review aims to explore the current state of knowledge on the interaction of Musa spp. fibre in composite manufacture, to aid intending researchers with ample knowledge on the choice of material in bio-based composite design.
