A comparably novel strategy to develop sustainable nano composites is presented, in which cellulose nano fibers (CNFs) reinforcement derived from red banana empty fruit bunches is employed to solve issues related to landfill gas emissions and the simultaneous utilisation of organic wastes. The impact of saline treatment on the physicochemical, thermal, and morphological of CNFs is examined. Compression moulding was utilised to make five different loading levels of SCNFs reinforced epoxy nano

The incorporation of SCNFs with a large surface area in epoxy allowed for mechanical interlocking and improved mechanical and thermal characteristics. The composite with the highest strengths and thermal stability was discovered to include 3% wt.% SNCFs. This research shows that combining epoxy with SCNFs has the potential to reduce agro waste while also developing sustainable nano composites with qualities that might be valuable for light-weight structural applications.
