Abstract:

Pineapple leaf fibers (PALF) have several advantages such as low cost, eco-friendly, and high specific strength. However, the brittleness of PALF limits its application. To overcome this limitation of PALF, it is essential to synergize the advantages of PALF with elastic properties of hydrogel. In this study, PALF was coated with polyacrylamide (PAAm) hydrogel under direct UV light exposure (UVA>300nm). Prior to this coating, PALF was alkali treated to introduce more OH group on PALF fiber. The main purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of untreated/treated PALF coated PAAm hy

In this study, we compare the reinforcing efficiency of pineapple leaf fiber (PALF) and cultivated flax fiber in unidirectional poly(butylene succinate) composites. Flax, known for robust mechanical properties, is contrasted with PALF, a less studied but potentially sustainable alternative. Short fibers (6 mm) were incorporated at 10 and 20% wt. levels. After two-roll mill mixing, uniaxially aligned prepreg sheets were compression molded into composites. At 10 wt.%, PALF and flax exhibited virtually the same stress–strain curve. Interestingly, PALF excelled at 20 wt.%, defying its inherently l

The manual retting using a ceramic scrapper led to low yield of around 1.8 % (wt.), while water retting for 21 d led to about 6.0 % (wt.) yield of dark greenish dry pulp.
