About this document

Banana Pseudostem Fiber for Biodegradable Films by anonymous is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document summarizes research on preparing biodegradable composite films from banana pseudostem fibres and polyvinyl alcohol. Banana pseudostem fibres were extracted and treated with alkali or acid before being blended with PVA. Composite films of varying compositions were produced by solution casting. The addition of banana fibres decreased the crystallinity and tensile strength of the PVA component but improved flexibility. Chemical crosslinking between the hydroxyl groups of the fibres and PVA enhanc
