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 %.

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.%.

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.

Dynamic mechanical properties of pineapple leaf fiber polyester composites

Polymer Composites, 2011
AbstractIn the recent years, lignocellulosic fibers that originate from a renewable source have been found to provide good reinforcement in polymer matrices. Among the natural fibers, pineapple leaf fiber (PALF) exhibits excellent mechanical properties, besides possessing low density, high stiffness, and low cost.

Polycarbonate with Pineapple Leaf Fiber to Produce Functional Composites

Advanced Materials Research, 2008
This research is to study the properties of pineapple leaf fiber reinforced polycarbonate composites (PC/PALF). Surface of pineapple leaf fiber (PALF) was pre-treated with sodium hydroxide (PALF/NaOH) and modified with two different functionalities such as γ-aminopropyl trimethoxy silane (PALF/Z-6011) and γ-methacryloxy propyl trimethoxy silane (PALF/Z-

Ageing studies of pineapple leaf fiber–reinforced polyester composites

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 2004
AbstractThis experimental study evaluated the water absorption characteristics of pineapple leaf fiber (PALF)–polyester composites of different fiber content. The degree of water absorption was found to increase with fiber loading. The mechanism of diffusion was analyzed and the effect of fiber loading on the sorption kinetics was studied.

Short pineapple‐leaf‐fiber‐reinforced low‐density polyethylene composites

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 1995
AbstractShort pineapple‐leaf‐fiber‐(PALF)‐reinforced low‐density polyethylene (LDPE) composites were prepared by melt‐mixing and solution‐mixing methods. In the melt‐mixing technique, a mixing time of 6 min, rotor speed of 60 rpm, and mixing temperature of 130°C were found to be the optimum conditions.
