Abstract:The aim of this study is to investigate the behavior of banana fiber (BF)-low-density polyethylene (LDPE) composite fracture toughness. The LDPE pellets are transformed into powder form which is then functioned as a matrix reinforced with banana fiber (BF). The composites were formed by injection molding techniques which are followed by atmospheric-pressure annealing at 90°C for 24 hours. The composite fracture toughness behavior was evaluated using the essential work of fracture (EWF) approach. The results sh… Show more
