Characterisation of pineapple leaf fibre/poly(methacrylic acid) semi-interpenetrating network hydrogel

Results in Engineering
This work presented a novel semi-interpenetrating (semi-IPN) hydrogel of a poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) matrix by incorporating pineapple leaf fibre (PALF). The reinforcement significantly enhanced its mechanical properties, thermal stability, and pH-responsive swelling behavior.

Immunological and Proteomic Characterization of Food Allergens in Almond Hulls

Sustainable Food Proteins, Volume 4, Issue 1, March 2026.
Through in vitro assessment and proteomics analysis, almond hulls contain intrinsic allergens that exhibit cross‐reactivity with other Prunus species and may also carry extrinsic almond kernel allergen residues due to cross‐contamination. ABSTRACT This study provides a systematic evaluation of the allergenic potential of almond hulls using a ...

Cure Characteristics and Mechanical Properties of Pineapple Leaf Fibre Filled Natural Rubber

Journal of Minerals and Materials Characterization and Engineering, 2018
The cure characteristics and mechanical properties of natural rubber filled with pineapple leaf fibre (PLF) were studied at different filler contents and particle sizes. The PLF was characterized for filler properties while carbon black (N330) served as the reference filler. The natural rubber vulcanizates were compounded on a two-roll mill.
