Mechanical and Structural Characterization of Pineapple Leaf Fiber [PDF]

Fibers, 2021
Evidence-based research had shown that elevated alkali treatment of pineapple leaf fiber (PALF) compromised the mechanical properties of the fiber. In this work, PALF was subjected to differential alkali concentrations: 1, 3, 6, and 9% wt/wt to study the

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

Polymers (Basel), 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.

Improvement of Physicomechanical Properties of Pineapple Leaf Fiber Reinforced Composite. [PDF]

Int J Biomater, 2018
Pineapple leaf fiber (PALF) reinforced polypropylene (PP) composites were prepared by compression molding. The fiber content varied from 25% to 45% by weight. Water uptake percentages of the composites containing various wt% of fiber were measured. All the composites demonstrated lower water uptake percentages and maximum of 1.93% for 45 wt% PALF/PP ...
