Abstract

Laminated boards were produced by laminating banana stem fibre boards with banana leaf tapes. Various laminated boards were created by changing the number of layers of leaf tapes used. The tensile strength, elongation at break, flexural modulus and impact strength of the laminated boards increased with increasing number of layers of the leaf tapes. The elastic modulus of the laminated boards, however, showed the opposite trend. The orientation of fibre in the leaf tapes has little effect on impact strength but other properties studied showed that the properties measured along the fibre orientation were higher than that in the perpendicular direction.
