Mechanical and water absorption properties of municipal solid waste and banana fiber‐reinforced urea formaldehyde composites

In this study, hybrid composites of municipal solid waste (MSW)/banana fiber reinforced urea formaldehyde were prepared in different filler ratio. Mechanical properties such as tensile, flexural, and impact strengths were investigated as a function of total volume fraction ( V f ) of filler (MSW and banana fiber), relative volume fraction of MSW and banana fiber and its chemical modification. The mechanical properties were found to be high at...
