Pineapple Leaf Fibre: Cultivation and Production

2020
A pineapple leaf fibre (PALF) is classified according to the sources in plants, where they occur and from which they are extracted. PALF is considered to be superior in texture than any other vegetable fibre. It helps in climate restoration and soil quality by preventing soil erosion. This chapter includes pineapple cultivation practices, plant anatomy,

Sound absorption of extracted pineapple-leaf fibres

Applied Acoustics, 2018
Abstract This paper reports the utilisation of fibres from the pineapple leaf (PALF) to be an alternative natural acoustic material. We fabricated samples from raw pineapple leaf fibres with different densities and thicknesses to observe their effects on the sound absorption characteristic.

Dimensional stability of pineapple leaf fibre reinforced phenolic composites

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2017
In this research, pineapple leaves fibre (PALF)/phenolic resin (PF) composites were fabricated by hand lay-up method. The aim of this work is to investigate the physical properties (water absorption and thickness swelling) of PALF reinforced phenolic resin composites. Long-term water absorption (WA) and thickness swelling (TS) behaviours of the PALF/PF

Chemical, Physical and Biological Treatments of Pineapple Leaf Fibres

2020
Pineapple leaves are known as organic wastes that left behind after pineapple fruit have been harvested. In Malaysia, waste management of these leaves is improving time to time, whereby the leaves are collected and consigned for research and industry utilization.

Tensile Properties of Pineapple Leaf Fibre Reinforced Unsaturated Polyester Composites

Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2014
In recent years natural fibres such as sisal, jute, kenaf, pineapple leaf and banana fibres appear to be the outstanding materials which come as the viable and abundant substitute for the expensive and non-renewable synthethic fibre. This paper investigate the effect of fibre length and fibre content on the tensile properties of pineapple leaf fibre ...

Isolation of nanocellulose from pineapple leaf fibres by steam explosion

Carbohydrate Polymers, 2010
Abstract Steam explosion process is employed for the successful extraction of cellulose nanofibrils from pineapple leaf fibres for the first time. Steam coupled acid treatment on the pineapple leaf fibres is found to be effective in the depolymerization and defibrillation of the fibre to produce nanofibrils of these fibres.

Improving the Properties of Pineapple Leaf Fibres by Chemical Treatments

2020
Natural fibres such as pineapple leaf fibre (PALF) have the advantages of low density, lightweight, low cost, biodegradability and renewability. Recently, many research works have been conducted all over the world on utilization of natural fibres as a reinforcing material for composites for variety of applications.

The Potential of Pineapple Leaf Fibre as an Acoustic Absorber

2019
This study discussed an alternative material known as pineapple leaf fibres (PALF) as a replacement of synthetic fibres in sound absorber production. The samples were fabricated from two different sizes of PALF, with and without binder of different thicknesses and densities to determine their effects on the sound absorption coefficient (SAC).

Initial properties and ageing behaviour of pineapple leaf and palm fibre as reinforcement for polypropylene

Journal of Thermoplastic Composite Materials, 2016
In the furniture, automotive and contruction industries, there is increased demand for cost-effective and lightweight biocomposites. The objective of this work was to develop new natural fibre-based composites with specific properties. Palm and pineapple leaf fibres were chosen in association with polypropylene (PP).

Pineapple Leaf Fibre—A Sustainable Luxury and Industrial Textiles

2015
Pineapple (Ananas comosus) is a popular and one of the delicious fruit. Pineapple plant is mainly cultivated for its fruit. Since it is perennial crop, the plant is of no use after harvesting of the fruit. These pineapple leaves generate huge unutilized biomass and cause agricultural waste.
