“…9 Sakthivel et al produced needle punched nonwovens with 100% banana, 100% jute and in various blend proportions of banana/ jute; 80/20, 60/40, and 40/60 and characterized for geo and agriculture textile applications. 10 Ramesh et al fabricated six different composite samples by using banana and carbon fibers with epoxy resin matrix and evaluated the mechanical properties such as tensile strength, flexural strength, impact strength, and water uptake properties of the developed composites. 11 In the reported literature, banana fiber-based structures have been developed for technical textiles application by blending banana fibers with natural/synthetic fibers.…”

In this research, the needle punched and chemical bonded nonwovens were developed by blending banana fiber and recycled polyester (r-PET) in three blend ratios (90% banana/10% r-PET, 70% banana/30% r-PET, 50% banana/50% r-PET). The developed nonwovens were characterized by thermal insulation and biodegradation properties. Results showed that all developed nonwovens have an excellent insulation performance; the thermal resistance value is in the range of 0.299 to 0.248 m2/KW. It was observed that nonwovens made from 90% banana/10% r-PET have better thermal insulation compared to other blend ratios in both techniques. It was also observed that the chemical bonded nonwovens had a 6.69% higher thermal resistance value compared to the needle punched nonwovens. A bi-layer hybrid structure made with chemical bonded nonwoven and needle punched nonwoven provided a thermal resistance value of 0.43 m2/KW. The chemical bonded nonwovens showed lower biodegradation compared to needle punched nonwovens.
