Chemical, thermal and morphological properties of polybutylene succinate-waste pineapple leaf fibres composites. [PDF]

Heliyon, 2023
The use of natural fibres for polymer composite applications has been widely researched due to the biodegradable and lightweight nature of natural fibres. To achieve good adhesion and compatibility between the matrix and the fibre filler, prior modification of the fibre surface via the use of various methods has been found to be effective.

Potentiality of Utilizing Woven Pineapple Leaf Fibre for Polymer Composites. [PDF]

Polymers (Basel), 2022
Pineapple leaf fibre (PALF) is one of the natural fibres with the highest tensile strength and cellulose content. This has led to the investigation of the application of short, long, random mats, and unidirectional types as reinforcement agents, but there is limited study on the usage of woven PALF in composites.

Preparation and characterization of carboxymethyl microcrystalline cellulose from pineapple leaf fibre. [PDF]

Sci Rep
Abstract Highly functional and robust biobased materials are still in research to produce valuable bio-composites. In the present research, microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) was obtained through an agricultural waste, pineapple leaf fiber (PL) and further functionalized using upscaled chemical approach to carboxymethyl microcrystalline cellulose

Mechanical properties of pineapple leaf fibre reinforced polypropylene composites [PDF]

Materials & Design, 2006
Pineapple leaf fibre, which is rich in cellulose, relative inexpensive and abundantly available has the potential for polymer-reinforced composite. The present study investigates the tensile and flexural behaviours of pineapple leaf fibre–polypropylene composites as a function of volume fraction.

Characterisation of Flexural Properties of Glass Fibre/Pineapple Leaf Fibre (PALF) Hybrid Composite

Journal of Applied Science & Process Engineering, 2022
The use of natural resource materials has gained awareness among industries recently. Today, replacing the material with something more environmentally friendly, especially from waste natural products like pineapple leaf fibre (PALF), is a top concern.

Natural Pineapple Leaf Fibre Extraction On Josapine And Morris [PDF]

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2017
The pineapple’s leaf plant contains approximately 2.5% to 3.5% of strong white silky fibres. These fibres are useful and can be extracted from the leaves. There are a few ways to extract the fibre such as hand scrapping and by extraction machine. The objective of this research is to study the quality of fibre extraction by using different age of ...

Tensile Characterization of Pre-harvest Treated Pineapple Leaf Fibre

Journal of Engineering Research and Reports, 2020
This study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of field practice on the tensile properties of pineapple leaf fibre (PAFL). The pineapple leaves were treated in the field with calcium nitrate (Ca(NO3)2) at four concentrations (0 mg/l, 100 mg/l, 200 mg/l and 300 mg/l).
