Banana fiber, which comes from the pseudostems of banana plants (Musa spp.), is gaining attention as a sustainable material. This natural fiber boasts a high content of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, giving it impressive mechanical strength, thermal stability, and resistance to chemicals. These standout features make banana fiber a fantastic option for a variety of industrial uses, such as in textiles, composite materials, paper and pulp products, and even biomedical applications.In a closer look at banana fiber (BF), which is derived from the pseudostems of Musa spp., researchers examined its physical and mechanical properties to assess its potential in industry. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) measurements showed that the fiber diameter ranges from 150 to 200 ?m.Its unique characteristics make it a compelling alternative to conventional materials, offering benefits like biodegradability, renewability, and a smaller carbon footprint.
