The composites industry is advancing towards producing green as sustainability quickly becoming a global focus across numerous industries. Natural fiber-based have emerged materials of interest in important industries, such packaging, automobiles, and construction. False banana fiber-reinforced composite promising area research owing to their partial or full biodegradability, easy availability,...

There is a need for sustainable ways of processing plant fibers. Most chemical degumming methods pose threat to the eco-system because presence toxins during disposal. This study aimed find banana fiber with less harm environment. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and activated water were utilized softening fiber. Activated an aqueous solution electrolyte strongly oxidizing active substances prepared by ...

Citation: Pirttilä AM (2016) Commentary: Agroforestry leads to shifts within the gammaproteobacterial microbiome of banana plants cultivated in Central America. Front. Microbiol. 7:656. The microbiomes of organisms are fast becoming thoroughly studied by the development of next-generation sequencing techniques. As hundreds of strains can be identified within hours, the research on microbial com...

Abstract There is a rising demand for advanced new materials in food packaging to meet the growing economic and sustainability requirements. Natural fibers have excellent mechanical thermal isolation properties lower production costs than synthetic fibers, making them suitable candidates development of sustainable packaging. Other characteristics natural i.e., low cost, easy availability, impac...
