This work analyses the effect of alkali treatment on mechanical properties banana fibre (Musa Paradisiaca). Fibres were extracted from pseudostem by a defibring machine; they mercerised and modified 5% NaOH (w/v) treatment. Morphological characterisation showed that treated fibres' surface was rougher than untreated fibres. Mechanical indicated Young's modulus, ultimate tensile strength strain became decreased increasing both diameter.
