Natural fibers have been used as an alternative to synthetic ones for their greener character; banana the advantage of coming from agricultural residue. Fibers extracted by mechanical means tree pseudostems, a strategy valorize crops residues. To increase properties composite, technical textiles can be reinforcement, instead short fibers. do so, must spun and woven. The aim this paper is show viability using obtain yarn suitable woven, after enzymatic treatment, which more environmentally...
The use of natural fibres allows reducing environmental impact, due to their renewable origin and the lower energy needed for production processing. This work presents mechanical characterization a newly developed technical textile, with banana fibre treated by enzymes, comparing experimental results numerical simulation based on definition unit cell at micromechanical level. test shows that composite fabric worse behaviour than one commercial flax fibre. presence wool, necessary producing...
