ABSTRACT
Composite materials have wide range of applications in multiple domains. However, the presence of non-biodegradable elements in these composites result in difficulty in disposal of such items. Hence, it is important to use more eco-friendly materials for composite developments. Agro derivative materials are often considered as a good replacement for developing such materials. In present study, an attempt has been made to develop composites reinforced with plantain fibers. The performance of such composites have been analyzed in terms of flexural and tensile strength under different proportions of resin and fiber. Further, the influence of addition of cow dung powder on thermal and acoustic properties of plantain fiber reinforced composites have also been investigated.
