Abstract

The goal of our research was study about the mechanical properties and morphology of banana-glass fibre reinforced polypropylene hybrid composites. In this study, we choose the banana fibre as first material. This is because, banana trunk are the natural material and easy to get at any place in Malaysia and other place in the world. Preparations for banana fibre are getting from the journal. Before mixing the composition, banana fibre were processes via extraction banana fibre from the trunk of banana. The processing of banana fibre is for different two sizes; 250μm and 500μm. While, the composition prepared with 1.5, 2 and 2.5wt% of banana fibre .Then constant the composition and length of glass fibre at 5wt% and 2.5mm. After that, these compositions are tested for mechanical properties and their morphology. Overall of the observation from this study shows the natural fibre have good mechanical properties when mixing with synthetic fibre.
