The Effect of Alkali Treatment to the Properties of Banana Fibers

Article Preview

Abstract:

Banana fibers were processed with different concentration of alkali solution and different process time. The change of tensile properties, linear density and crimp of fibers before and after process was analyzed. The results showed that the elongation at break of banana fibers increased, the initial modulus decreased and lots of crimp were produced after alkali treatment. However, the linear density increased and the strength decreased.
