Investigation on Environmentally Polluted Water Hyacinth with Banana Fibre Reinforced Composite Absorption Properties

Abstract:

A study of hyacinth plant fibres derived from aquatic wastewater aimed at developing lightweight, durable synthetic materials reinforced with banana fibres. The availability and sustainability of banana fibre make it one of the best choices for natural fibres. Traditional materials are extremely heavy, heavy, and expensive when compared to banana fiber materials. Their strength, lightness, and affordability make them ideal for this purpose. Recently, natural fibres have gained attention from scientists as reinforcement materials for polymeric composites and technical applications. There are many advantages to using natural fibres, including continuous supply, easier handling, and biodegradability. Particle boards on the market have a lower hardness strength than banana fibre composite boards. ASTM standards determine parameters such as hardness strength and absorption. According to their hardness strength, banana composites have hardness values of 95 shore D. The absorption levels of banana composites can be increased by 15 to 30%, depending on reinforcement. Compared to the other samples, 30% of the composite samples were able to achieve the high performance. The use of metal as a wood alternative for automobile bodies has been found to be promising in a number of applications.
