“…The fibre densities (Table 1) found for AC, NA et RC fibres are close to those reported in the literature for the same species [1] [4] [14] [15]. The use of AC, NA and RC fibres could significantly contribute to lighten the mass of composites used in the fields of transport, construction, sport and leisure.…”

This paper focuses on the study of the physical, biochemical, structural, and thermal properties of plant fibres of Rhecktophyllum camerunense (RC), Neuropeltis acuminatas (NA) and Ananas comosus (AC) from the equatorial region of Cameroon. The traditional use of these fibres inspired researchers to investigated their properties. This study aims at improving the state of knowledge with a view to diversifying applications. The fibres are extracted by retting. Then, their apparent density was measured following the ASTM D792 standard and their water moisture absorption and moisture content were also evaluated. Their molecular structure was studied by ATR-FTIR spectroscopy. A quantitative analysis of the biochemical composition was performed according to the analytical technique for the pulp and paper industry (TAPPI). A TGA/DSC analysis was also performed. The results reveal that the AC, NA and RC fibres have densities of 1.26 ± 1.06, 0.846 ± 0.13 and 0.757 ± 0.08 g•cm −3 respectively. They are also hydrophilic with a water absorption rate of 188.64 ± 11.94%, 276.16% ± 8.07% and 198.17% ± 20%. They have a moisture content of 12.21%, 10.36% and 9.37%. The studied fibres exhibit functional groups that are related to the presence of hemicellulose, pectin, lignin and cellulose. The cellulose crystallinity index was found to be 67.99%, 46.5% and 59.72% respectively. The fibres under study have the following chemical composition: an extractive content of 3.07%, 14.77% and 8.74%; a pectin content of 4.15%, 7.69% and 3.45%; a hemicellulose content of 4.90%, 15.

“…A mature pineapple plant has about 60-80 sword-like leaves with an average length and width of 55-75 and 3.1-5.3 cm, respectively [100]. It is one of the cheapest and abundantly available sources of natural fibers that finds application in textile industries, paper industry, upholstery, reinforced roofing, manufacture of yarns and reinforcing polymer composites [101][102][103][104]. The fibers extracted from leaves of pineapple are white, smooth and glossy with average length and diameter of 50-120 cm and 105 µm respectively.…”

In recent years, researchers across the globe have switched from synthetic fibers to natural fibers for the fabrication of composites. The desirable properties of natural fibers which attracted researchers, as well as academicians, are its low density, easy availability, environmentally friendly nature, biodegradability, and high specific strength. Hence in the last decade, there is tremendous progress in the development of natural fiber-reinforced composites for various industrial applications. The current review focused on the recent progress in natural fiber-reinforced polymer composite. The natural fibers discussed in this review are derived from leaves, namely pineapple, sisal, and abaca. The extraction and processing of these fibers are briefly outlined. The properties and application of natural fiber-reinforced composites are also addressed in this review. One of the drawbacks of natural fiber is its poor compatibility with the polymer matrix. The different treatment methods to improve the fiber-matrix interaction are also summarized in the present review.

“…Pineapple leaf fibre (PALF) is one example of natural fibres that showed outstanding fibre qualities, such as high in cellulose, low in cost and eco-friendly with good fibre strength [8]. PALF is made up of cellulose (70-82%), lignin (5-12%), and ash (less than 2%).…”

Natural and synthetic fibres are in high demand due to their superior properties. Natural fibres are less expensive and lighter as compared to synthetic fibres. Synthetic fibres have drawn much attention, especially for their outstanding properties, such as durability, and stability. The hybridisation between natural and synthetic fibres composite are considered as an alternative to improve the current properties of natural and synthetic fibres. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the physical and mechanical properties of pineapple leaf fibre (PALF) and Kevlar reinforced unsaturated polyester (UP) hybrid composites. The PALF/Kevlar hybrid composites were fabricated by using hand layup method utilising unsaturated polyester as the matrix. These composites were laid up to various laminated configurations, such as [PKP]s, [PPK]s, [KPP]s, [KKP]s, [PPP]s and [KKK]s, whereby PALF denoted as P and Kevlar denoted as K. Next, they were cut into size and dimensions according to standards. Initially, the density of PALF/Kevlar reinforced unsaturated polyester were evaluated. The highest density result was obtained from [KKK]s, however, the density of hybrid composites was closely indistinguishable. Next, moisture absorption behaviour and its effects on the PALF/Kevlar reinforced unsaturated polyester were investigated. The water absorption studies showed that the hybridisation between all PALF and Kevlar specimens absorbed moisture drastically at the beginning of the moisture absorption test and the percentage of moisture uptake increased with the volume fraction of PALF in the samples. The tensile test indicated that all specimens exhibited nonlinear stress-strain behaviour and shown a pseudo-ductility behaviour. [KKP]s and [KPK]s hybrid composites showed the highest tensile strength and modulus. The flexural test showed that [KPK]s had the highest flexural strength of 164.0 MPa and [KKP]s had the highest flexural modulus of 12.6 GPa. In terms of the impact strength and resistance, [KKP]s outperformed the composite laminates. According to SEM scans, the hybrid composites demonstrated a stronger interfacial adhesion between the fibres and matrix than pure PALF composite.
