Water absorption behavior of PALF/GF hybrid polyester composites

Polymer Composites, 2011
Abstract The water absorption characteristics of pineapple leaf fiber (PALF)/glass fiber (GF) hybrid polyester(PER) composites, and chemically modified PALF/polyester composites were evaluated by immersion in distilled water at 28, 60, and 90°C. The diffusion properties of the intimately mixed (IM) and the layered

The use of pineapple leaf fibers (PALFs) as reinforcements in composites

2015
Pineapple leaf fibers (PALFs) can be utilized as fabrics for textile materials and in the manufacture of yarns and handicrafts in many countries. The excellent mechanical properties and environmentally sustainable characteristics exhibited by PALFs have triggered the interest of researchers to use the material as a potential reinforcement in structural

Pineapple Leaf Fibers and PALF-Reinforced Polymer Composites

2011
Pineapple leaf fibers (PALF) have long been known as textile materials in many countries. Despite being mechanically excellent and environmentally sound, PALF are the least-studied natural fibers, especially for reinforcing composites. This article presents a survey of research works carried out on PALF and PALF-reinforced composites.

Tensile Properties of Epoxy Composites Reinforced with Continuous PALF Fibers

2015
The tensile properties of DGEBA/TETA epoxy matrix composites reinforced with different amounts of PALF fibers were evaluated. Composites reinforced with up to 30% in volume of long, continuous and aligned PALF fibers were tested in an Instron machine at room temperature. The fracture was analyzed by SEM. This one revealed a weak fiber/matrix interface,

PALF: compiler supports for irregular register files in clustered VLIW DSP processors

Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience, 2007
AbstractA wide variety of register file architectures—developed for embedded processors—have recently been used with the aim of reducing power dissipation and die size, in contrast with the traditional unified register file structures. This article presents a novel register allocation scheme for a clustered VLIW DSP, which is designed with ...

Percutaneous Aponeurotomy and Lipofilling (PALF): A Regenerative Approach to Dupuytren Contracture.

Clinics in plastic surgery, 2015
Dupuytren disease is a progressive fibroproliferative disorder, which leads to flexion contractures of the digits. A minimally invasive technique consisting of an extensive percutaneous aponeurotomy of the cord with a needle combined with lipofilling is presented. The selective cutting of the cords under continuous tension disintegrates the cords while

Dynamic-Mechanical Analysis of Epoxy Composites Reinforced with PALF Fibers

2018
The society is increasingly the concern about the ambiental impacts, and demand for eco-friendly materials. The composites reinforced with synthetic fibers are been replaced by composites reinforced with natural fibers because of the environmental advantages.

Properties of Pineapple Leaf Fiber (PALF) Reinforced Polypropylene (PP) Composites

Macromolecular Symposia
AbstractPineapple leaf fiber (PALF) is an abundant natural fiber that is produced from agricultural plantations in Malaysia. Typically, after three times the pineapple yield, pineapple leaf waste is burned, which can cause an environmental issue. PALF has the potential to be converted into fiber‐reinforced composites.

Charpy Impact Tests of Polyester Composites Reinforced with PALF Fibers

2016
With the society’s demand for new environmentally friendly materials, new alternatives, such as the PALF fiber, are being developed to replace synthetic fibers which are harmful to the environment. However, there is limited information about the impact resistance of polyester composites incorporated with PALF fibers. Therefore, the aim of this work was
