 A study was conducted to determine the structural and mechanical properties of banana fibers from Khenutaka, India, using FTIR spectroscopy, XRD techniques, tensile testing, differential scanning calorimetry, and thermogravimetric analysis. The results showed that the fiber has a cellulose structure with a crystallinity index of 52% and is brittle with moderate tensile strength but low percentage elongation. Weibull analysis revealed variation in characteristic strength values from 3800 mPa to 22700 mPa, while morphology studies showed defects along the fiber length and fractured surfaces exhibited intracellular fractures.
