Mechanical Properties of Banana fiber (BF) reinforced ABS Composites
Abstract
Banana pseudo stem was used as reinforcement fibers in ABS matrix. Banana fibers were pretreated by using Sodium hydroxide solution with 5% concentration for 24 hours in order to enhance the interface between banana fibers and ABS Matrix. ABS/BPS composites were prepared at 0, 10, 20 and 30 wt% banana fibers. The ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and impact toughness for BPS/ABS composites at 0, 10, 20, 30 % fiber weight percentage were studied. The SEM for fracture surfaces was investigated. The thermal stability of the composites is studied using TGA test.
