MORPHOLOGICAL AND MECHANICAL CHARACTERISATION OF BANANA FIBRE AS INFLUENCED BY WATER RETTING DURATION FOR SUSTAINABLE TEXTILES
Banana fibre, extracted from the pseudostem of Musa species, offers a promising sustainable alternative for textile applications. This study examines the influence of water retting duration on fibre yield, tensile strength, and morphological properties to optimise processing for eco-friendly textile production. Banana sheaths were retted for 2, 4, ...
