Anatomical Structure of Pineapple Leaf Fiber

2020
The use of natural fibers, such as pineapple, sisal, banana, coir, sun hemp, mesta, or jute, in polymer composite materials has expanded fundamentally in recent years. Today, pineapple fiber is enormously popular among the composite research community due to its various advantages including its smoothed and scaled morphology, low thickness, firmness ...

Pineapple Leaf Fibers Coated with Polyacrylamide Hydrogel

Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2014
Pineapple leaf fibers (PALF) have several advantages such as low cost, eco-friendly, and high specific strength. However, the brittleness of PALF limits its application. To overcome this limitation of PALF, it is essential to synergize the advantages of PALF with elastic properties of hydrogel.

Improving Flame Retardancy of Pineapple Leaf Fibers

2020
Pineapple leaf fibers (PALF) are very suitable to act as reinforcing composite matrixes. Nevertheless, PALF is highly susceptible to the risk of fire hazard. Therefore, priority is often being placed in order to improve the fire retardancy of the PALF and its composite products.

Mechanical properties of pineapple leaf fiber-reinforced polyester composites

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 1997
Pineapple leaf fiber (PALF) which is rich in cellulose, relatively inexpen- sive, and abundantly available has the potential for polymer reinforcement. The present study investigated the tensile, flexural, and impact behavior of PALF-reinforced polyes- ter composites as a function of fiber loading, fiber length, and fiber surface modification.

Thermal properties of pineapple leaf fiber reinforced composites

Materials Science and Engineering: A, 2003
Simultaneous measurment of effective thermal conductivity (λ) and effective thermal diffusivity (κ) of pineapple leaf fiber reinforced phenolformaldehyde (PF) composites have been studied by transient plane source (TPS) technique. The samples of different weight percentage typically (15, 20, 30, 40 and 50%) have been taken.

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.

Electrically conductive paper of polyaniline modified pineapple leaf fiber

Fibers and Polymers, 2014
This research work reports new electrically conductive paper made of pineapple leaf fiber and polyaniline (PALF/PANI). The conductive paper shows remarkable preservation of mechanical properties while achieving its conductive state. Also it was found that, the amount of PANI needed to achieve the conductivity transformation is as low as 5 wt.%.
