## Abstract Poly lactic acid (PLA)/Banana fiber (BF) biocomposites were fabricated employing melt blending technique followed by compression molding. BF were surfaceβtreated by NaOH and various silanes viz. 3βaminopropyltriethoxysilane (APS) and bisβ(3βtriethoxy silyl propyl) tetrasulfane (Si69) to
## Abstract Composites were prepared with chemically modified banana fibers in polypropylene (PP). The effects of 40βmm fiber loading and resin modification on the physical, mechanical, thermal, and morphological properties of the composites were evaluated with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), t
