Mechanical and thermal properties of josapine pineapple leaf fiber (PALF) and PALF-reinforced vinyl ester composites [PDF]
Fibers and Polymers, 2014 Although the pineapple leaf fibers (PALF) are long known as domestic threading material in Malaysia, they are currently of little use despite being mechanically and environmentally sound. This study evaluated some selected properties of Josapine PALF and PALF-vinyl ester composites as well as the effects of simple abrasive combing and pretreatments on ...

Effects of Simple Abrasive Combing and Pretreatments on the Properties of Pineapple Leaf Fibers (Palf) and Palf-Vinyl Ester Composite Adhesion [PDF]
Polymer-Plastics Technology and Engineering, 2010 Despite being mechanically and environmentally sound, pineapple leaf fibers (PALF) are of little use in Malaysia and the least studied for composite applications. In this study effects of abrasive combing and simple pretreatments on PALF and their adhesion to vinyl ester were investigated.

Low-Velocity Impact Analysis of Pineapple Leaf Fiber (PALF) Hybrid Composites [PDF]
Polymers, 2021 The low-velocity impact behaviour of pineapple leaf fiber, PALF reinforce epoxy composite (P), PALF hybrid (GPG), and four-layer woven glass fiber (GGGG) composite was investigated. As for post-impact analysis, the damage evaluation was assessed through photographic images and X-ray computed tomography, using CT scan techniques.
