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 %.

Chemical modification of pineapple leaf fiber: Graft copolymerization of acrylonitrile onto defatted pineapple leaf fibers

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 2000
Graft copolymerization of acrylonitrile (AN) onto defatted pineapple leaf fiber (PALF) was studied using a CuSO4 and KIO4 combination as an initiator in an aqueous medium in the temperature range 30–500C. The effects of the concentration of potassium periodate, CuSO4, and monomer on the graft yield were investigated.

Analysis of physio-mechanical properties of pineapple leaf fiber

International Journal of Life Science Research Archive, 2022
The present research demonstrated that different fiber intimate blends allow the broader use of pineapple leaf fiber for the textile and clothing industries. This fiber is obtained from the leaves of pineapple plants by extraction, carried out to separate the cambium and fiber using a decorticator Machine.

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.

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.

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.
