Study of properties of banana fiber, extracted from Egyptian trees

Abstract EN

seeking spinning and Weaving industries are to produce eco-friendly fiber Natural .

fibers have distinct properties like high strength, low weight, low cost processing and bio degradability than synthetic fibers(1).

banana fibers have the advantage of coming from an agricultural residue.

Egypt produces around 65,000 feddans annually from banana trees and these trees are disposed of in a polluting environment .

Fibers have been extracted by mechanical means from banana tree(2).

The aim of this paper is to examines how to extract banana fiber and study the mechanical , chemical and physical properties of fiber.
