The alkaline treatment and its influence on the physicomechanical properties of plantain pseudostem fibers - A comparative study of treated and untreated fibers
Fibers were extracted from the pseudostem of the plantain of the variety Hartón, belonging to the order Zingiberales, family Musaceae, genus Musa, species Musa paradisiaca. The fibers were exposed to alkaline treatment to improve their physicomechanical properties for use as reinforcement in green c...
