Abstract:
Incorporating alumina trihydrate (ATH) as an additive into banana fibre reinforced polyester composites enhances both flame retardancy and mechanical integrity. Varying concentrations of ATH were blended into the matrix, and the resulting composites were tested for tensile strength, flexural strength, and impact resistance. Optimal ATH loading improved mechanical performance while also increasing thermal stability. The natural banana fibres contributed to weight reduction and sustainability, while ATH acted as an effective flame retardant. The synergistic effect between ATH and the fibre-polyester matrix suggests strong potential for developing eco friendly composites for structural and automotive applications.
