Try Googling "banana chemistry".

Chemical constituents of banana including various parts of the plant are listed in Duke's database. I couldn't link the search results, so enter 'banana' as the common name here.

I think the article linked by Kramarat contains exactly the information you requested.

You may find some additional articles that are relevant to your plans by searching here, or if you are still looking for additional information, I recommend that you try Current Contents database for a search. It is not free on the internet, but if you cannot subscribe, you may be able to access it from a university library.

For the dome, use the same material as in Photo-Gray or Photo-Sun sunglasses?
