Banana fiber, Polypropylene, Tensile strength, composite bonding.

The aim of this work was to fabrication of banana fiber reinforced fiber with polypropylene composites. Evaluation of mechanical properties such as tensile strength, impact strength flexural strength, and micro-hardness etc. of composites. To study the influence of fiber length and loading on the mechanical behaviour of composites. Inspite of, elevating the banana fiber as alternate filler material in a polypropylene matrix to increase the bonding between fiber and matrix. As a natural fiber due its availability, biodegradability, low cost and low weight, its tensile strength and tensile modulus along with the weight percentage are estimated and compared legitimately during this work.Here the experimental setup was made like injection moulding process, specimen preparation and composite compositions for overall research work.
