The spectrum characterizations of bioplastics originating from banana peels are crucial in clarifying their composition and characteristics, indicating its potential as a sustainable substitute for traditional plastics. To understand the intricate chemical and structural makeup of these biopolymers, this work makes use of sophisticated spectroscopic methods such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The bioplastics functional groups and chemical bonds can be found using FTIR spectroscopy, which also sheds light on the molecules that make up the materials. The crystallinity and ordering of polymer chains, on the other hand, are revealed by XRD examination, and these factors have a substantial influence on the mechanical and thermal properties of the material. SEM imaging helps evaluate the microstructure and surface morphology of the bioplastic by providing a thorough visual of its surface morphology. These spectral descriptions are important for various reasons. First of all, they make it possible to fully comprehend the structure-property correlations of bioplastics made from banana peels, which aids in the formulation of these materials for particular uses. Secondly, they aid in the evaluation of their biodegradability, thermal stability, and mechanical strength. Thirdly, they are essential to maintaining consistency and quality control in the production of bioplastics.
