Abstract
Abstract Over the past decade, the perception of utilizing Natural fiber has come to be more main stream. Natural fibres are the best substitute with the growing environmental consciousness, which act as an alternative for synthetic fibers due to their promising properties. New cellulosic fibers were identified from banyan bark. This study targets at understanding the components of ficusbenghalensis extracted from the bark of the banyan tree and its mechanical properties. Here, we construct three types of plates. One set of plates is equipedd by random orientation process another set of plates by unidirectional orientation and the third plate by orientation of bi-directional tests. The mechanical properties are going to inhibit tensile and impact. The flexural test is directed at these plates. We can select high strength plate among them with the support of those tests’ results, and by comparing those plates.
