Improvement of Physicomechanical Properties of Pineapple Leaf Fiber Reinforced Composite
International Journal of Biomaterials, 2018 Pineapple leaf fiber (PALF) reinforced polypropylene (PP) composites were prepared by compression molding. The fiber content varied from 25% to 45% by weight. Water uptake percentages of the composites containing various wt% of fiber were measured. All the composites demonstrated lower water uptake percentages and maximum of 1.93% for 45 wt% PALF/PP ...
