Extraction and Characterization of Sri Lankan Habarala (Alocasia macrorrhizos (L.) G.Don) Fibre for Potential Composite Applications
This study investigates the extraction and characterisation of natural fibre from Alocasia macrorrhizos (L.) G.Don, locally known as Habarala in Sri Lanka, with an emphasis on its potential as a lignocellulosic reinforcement for composite applications. Fibres were mechanically extracted from the stems using a decortica...
