Characteristics of banana fibers and banana fiber reinforced phenol formaldehyde composites-macroscale to nanoscale
Microfibers and nanofibers were prepared from macro banana fibers by a steam explosion process. The fiber surface of chemically modified and unmodified banana fibers was investigated by atomic force microscopy, the studies revealed a reduction in fiber diameter during steam explosion followed by aci...
