Tensile and flexural behaviour of graphite filler particles and pineapple leaf fiber (palf) reinforced polymer composites

Metallurgical and Materials Engineering, 2021
New composites materials are developed to meet the demand for medical devices, vehicles, protective equipment, sporting goods, etc. In present investigations, the effects of graphite filler particles in the epoxy were studied separately by preparing epoxy with 5 and 10 vol.% of graphite filler particles composites by hand layup technique.

Characterization and Application of Different Types of Pineapple Leaf Fibers (PALF) in Cement-Based Composites [PDF]

Fibers
The use of plant fibers as reinforcement in cement composites has gained significant interest due to their favorable mechanical properties and inherent sustainability, particularly when sourced from agro-industrial waste. In this study, six types of pineapple leaf fibers from commercial and hybrid varieties were characterized in terms of morphology ...

An Overview on Production, Properties, and Value Addition of Pineapple Leaf Fibers (PALF)

Journal of Natural Fibers, 2016
ABSTRACTPine apple leaf fibre (PALF) is an agro residue, extracted by scratching of pineapple leaves followed by retting. PALF has desirable properties of a textile fibre like high cellulose content, good tensile strength and fibre length. Research works were carried on development of various products by blending with fibers with or without physical ...

Fabrication Of Composite Materials By Using Short Pineapple Leaf Fiber Palf : A Review

, 2015
Composite materials (also called composition materials or shorte ned to composites) are materials made from two or more constituent materials with significantly different physi cal or chemical properties,that when combined,produce a material with characteristics different from the i ndividual components.

Effects of Simple Abrasive Combing and Pretreatments on the Properties of Pineapple Leaf Fibers (Palf) and Palf-Vinyl Ester Composite Adhesion [PDF]

Polymer-Plastics Technology and Engineering, 2010
Despite being mechanically and environmentally sound, pineapple leaf fibers (PALF) are of little use in Malaysia and the least studied for composite applications. In this study effects of abrasive combing and simple pretreatments on PALF and their adhesion to vinyl ester were investigated.

The effect of Pineapple Leaf Fiber (PALF) incorporation into Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) on FTIR, morphology and wetting properties

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2018
Pineapple Leaf Fibers (PALF) which is rich in cellulose, relatively inexpensive and abundantly available has the potential for polymer reinforcement. In this study, Polyethylene Terephthalatate (PET) was added with PALF and electro-spinned. The resulting mats were compared with PET neat electrospun.

Effect of Pre-Treatment on the Morphology and Chemical Properties of Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET)/Pineapple Leaf Fiber (PALF) Electrospun Mat

International Journal of Engineering & Technology, 2019
In the past decades, conventional petroleum-based plastics have resulted in environmental and sustainability issues. Thus, there has been significant interest in the utilization of natural materials for nanofibers product such as for filtration media.  However, poor compatibility exists between polymers and natural fibers due to natural fibers ...

Effect of Fiber Length on Curing and Mechanical Behavior of Pineapple Leaf Fiber (PALF) Reinforced Natural Rubber Composites

Journal of Natural Fibers, 2020
The introduction of natural fibers as a filler into rubber matrix can be of relevance for their eco-friendly nature and sustainability. In particular, it is expected that natural fibers would assist the stiffening of rubber, which would in turn depend on the geometry, in particular on the aspect ratio (length/diameter) of fibers introduced. Here, short
