Abstract
This research explores plantain banana and madar fiber composites (BMFC) as sustainable alternatives to plastic-based printed circuit boards (PCBs). The study combines banana fibers (40 %), madar fibers (20 %), and epoxy resin (40 %) to create eco-friendly PCBs using materials abundant in Tamil Nadu, India. Testing revealed promising mechanical and electrical properties: tensile strength (22.64 MPa), flexural strength (34.56 MPa), impact resistance (3.12 KJ/m2), peel strength (4.68 N/mm), water absorption (3.54 %), dielectric constant (3.6 at 25 °C), temperature stability (±1.7 %), and signal integrity (−3.2 dB). Results indicate BMFC’s potential as a viable, sustainable alternative to conventional PCBs.
