A Review on False Banana (Enset Ventricosum) Fiber Reinforced Green Composite and Its Applications

The composites industry is advancing towards producing green composites as sustainability is quickly becoming a global focus across numerous industries. Natural fiber-based composites have emerged as materials of interest in important industries, such as packaging, automobiles, and construction. False banana fiber-reinforced composite is a promising area of research owing to their partial or full biodegradability, easy availability, low cost, and considerable mechanical properties. However, more research is required to understand the full potential of false banana fiber on its composites. As a result, this review gives a basic overview of several researchers work and explain in terms of how they are prepared, what features they have, and how they are used. Particularly in regards to the mechanical and water absorption capabilities of composites, the use of false banana fibers as reinforcements in different matrices has produced interesting results. The study also found that preparation, hybridization and treatment of fiber influence the properties of false banana fiber composites. Furthermore, the development of these composites has promoted the use of environmentally friendly materials and the development of a sustainable world. This review also provides a strong and holistic outlook on the potential of false banana fibers for use as a partially or fully biodegradable composite and has not been reviewed earlier.
