Effects of Simple Abrasive Combing and Pretreatments on the Properties of Pineapple Leaf Fibers (Palf) and Palf-Vinyl Ester Composite Adhesion [PDF]
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.

Mechanical Properties of PALF/Kevlar-Reinforced Unsaturated Polyester Hybrid Composite Laminates
Natural and synthetic fibres are in high demand due to their superior properties. Natural fibres are less expensive and lighter as compared to synthetic fibres. Synthetic fibres have drawn much attention, especially for their outstanding properties, such as durability, and stability.

Low-Velocity Impact Analysis of Pineapple Leaf Fiber (PALF) Hybrid Composites [PDF]
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.

An Overview on Production, Properties, and Value Addition of Pineapple Leaf Fibers (PALF)
ABSTRACTPine apple leaf fibre (PALF) is an agro residue, extracted by scratching of pineapple leaves followed by retting. PALF has desirable properties of a textile fibre like high cellulose content, good tensile strength and fibre length. Research works were carried on development of various products by blending with fibers with or without physical ...

Review on PALF Extraction Machines for Natural Fibers
Advanced Materials Research, 2013PALF (pineapple leaf fiber) is one of the abundant sources that have been used for ages to be processed as different end product. The methods to extract the fiber are abounding. However comparisons between the machines are needed to ascertain the better function of machines and whether all natural fibers can be extracted using the same exact machine ...

The sequence of palF, an environmental pH response gene in Aspergillus nidulans
Gene, 1997To molecularly characterize the influence of external pH in the secretion of enzymes by filamentous fungi, we have cloned and sequenced the palF gene of Aspergillus nidulans (An). An An wild-type (wt) chromosome VII-specific cosmid library was used to transform a palF15 mutant strain.

PALF: Replicated Write-Ahead Logging for Distributed Databases
Proceedings of the VLDB EndowmentDistributed databases have been widely researched and developed in recent years due to their scalability, availability, and consistency guarantees. The write-ahead logging (WAL) system is one of the most vital components in a database. It is still a non-trivial problem to design a replicated logging system as the foundation of a distributed database ...

Mechanical and Thermal Properties of PALF Reinforced Epoxy Composites
Macromolecular Symposia, 2016SummaryAlkali treated pineapple leaf fibers (PALF) were used as reinforcement in an epoxy matrix. The prepared Epoxy/PALF composites were evaluated for thermal and mechanical properties. Increasing the fiber loading in Epoxy systems showed considerable enhancements in mechanical properties up to the optimum level as compared to the neat epoxy matrix ...
