Pineapple Leaf Fibre: Cultivation and Production

2020
A pineapple leaf fibre (PALF) is classified according to the sources in plants, where they occur and from which they are extracted. PALF is considered to be superior in texture than any other vegetable fibre. It helps in climate restoration and soil quality by preventing soil erosion. This chapter includes pineapple cultivation practices, plant anatomy,

Pineapple Leaf Fibres for Automotive Applications

2020
Fibre-reinforced polymer composites (FRPCs) are playing a significant role in manufacturing of goods/products in service for lightweight applications. Among FRPCs, natural fibre-reinforced polymer composites (NFRPCs) are one in forefront and replacing both the conventional and unconventional reinforced composites since they are eco friendly in nature ...

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 ...

Structure and Characteristics of Pineapple Leaf Fibers Obtained from Pineapple Leaves

Advanced Materials Research, 2014
Pineapple leaf fiber is a nature hemp leaf fiber extracted from pineapple leaves. Its structural characteristics was investigated by means of scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TG).

Purification and Characterization of a Pineapple Crown Leaf Thiol Protease

Preparative Biochemistry and Biotechnology, 2004
A thiol protease was isolated and purified from the crown leaf of pineapple, Ananas comosus (L.) Merr. cv. Queen, by an immunoaffinity procedure. After the purification to electrophoretic homogeneity, the enzyme was characterized with respect to some of its physico-chemical and kinetic properties.

Micro-mechanical analysis of the pineapple-reinforced polymeric composite by the inclusion of pineapple leaf particulates

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part L: Journal of Materials: Design and Applications, 2021
The present study is focused on investigating the effect of the micro-mechanical properties of the natural fiber- (pineapple leaf fiber) reinforced polymeric composites by the addition of pineapple leaf micro-particulates. For the investigation, a two-step approach has been used.

Modification of pineapple leaf fibers with aminosilanes as adsorbents for H2S removal

Chemosphere, 2021
Pineapple leaves were used as a natural fiber source to prepare various modified microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) samples as sorbents for H2S sorption. Pineapple leaf fibers were first extracted from pineapple leaves, followed by hydrolyzing to produce MCC before various modifications using primary amine (3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, APS), secondary ...

Functionality and characterization of modified starch films with pineapple leaf fibers

International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2023
The objective of this work was to modify banana starch with pineapple leaf fibers (PALF) and its production of biodegradable films. The reaction conditions of the starch modification were a Starch/PALF mass ratio of 50, a time of 1 h and a temperature of 140 °C, to obtain a yield of 41.18 %.

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.
