Second-generation ethanol from pineapple leaf fibers [PDF]

Journal of Natural Fibers, 2020
The use of different lignocellulosic residues for the production of cellulosic ethanol is an alternative for the expanding demand of this fuel without increasing the planting area of traditional carbohydrate crops. One of the proposed alternatives is the

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 influence on the mechanical and crystal properties of the fiber.

Influence of sampling area and extraction method on the thermal, physical and mechanical properties of Cameroonian Ananas comosus leaf fibers

Heliyon, 2022
The wide dispersion of the properties of plant fiber bundles further limits their use. In this study, manual and retting methods were used to extract fiber bundles from the available and underutilized Ananas comosus (AC) leaf waste in Cameroon.
