Popis: The Musa paradisiaca L. peduncle natural fiber (MPPNF) was characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), chemical analysis (CA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), single fiber tensile test (SF-TS), X-Ray diffraction (XRD), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). AFM result suggests that this fiber has less impurity and a spiky topology. The FTIR graph confirms the presence of cellulose (CE) as there is a disappearance of C-O stretch at 1305 cm−1 peak. Chemical analysis shows a CE content of 67.9%. The SF-TS has shown that the TS of the fiber is 172 MPa. The modulus and elongation % were evidenced as 4.81 GPa and 4.8%, respectively. The results obtained suggest that it has a crystallinity index (CI) of 48%. The density of this fiber was found to be 1040 kg/m3. The thermal stability of the fiber remains intact until the degradation occurs at 339°C. All the above results convincingly prove that this MPPNF can be used as reinforcement for composites.
