Utilisation of pineapple leaf waste for plastic reinforcement: 1. A novel extraction method for short pineapple leaf fiber

Industrial Crops and Products, 2012
Abstract Pineapple leaf is a source of high quality natural fiber but is left underutilized. Pineapple leaf fiber (PALF) has many potential applications similar to other natural fibers such as plastic reinforcement, sound and thermal insulations. Conventional methods for PALF extraction such as scraping, retting and decorticating with a decorticator ...

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.

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.
