Abstract. 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 pineapple leaf. Next, the study aims to compare the quality of Josapine and Morris pineapple leaf with tensile test. Fibre yield percentage are calculated to determine which type of pineapple leaf produce high production of dry fibre. The mechanical properties of the fibres are analysed by Tensile Test under American Standard Testing Methods (ASTM C1577-03) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The result of the fibre yield percentage show the Josapine type on 12 month ages are the highest value fibre yield percentage which is 7.89%. Based on fibre yield percentages, it showed the Josapine type produce better dry fibre production compare to Morris type. Based on mechanical test, it showed Josapine type on 12 months ages are the strongest fibre compare to Morris type since it can withstand on 67.6 N of load.

Wood plastic composites (WPC) are made from wood and annual plant fiber or flours, mixing with plastics materials. WPC provide better properties than resources that form it. This renewable material has many utilization areas because of outstanding properties such as enhanced strength, stiffness, creep, physical and mechanical properties and dimension stability. In the present work, series of filled Polypropylene (PP) composites with olive pit and almond shell flour loading (between 0-40 wt %) were prepared, to study the effect of the filler content on the mechanical, wear and friction properties of polypropylene polymer composites. IntroductionParticularly, researches with regard to wood plastic composite materials have been continuously increased within the last 20 years because of the advantageous characteristics of each constituent in composite materials [1]. It is believed that source of petroleum based products are limited and uncertain. So an alternative with cheap sustainable and easily available raw material is required. The countries growing plant and fruit are not for only agricultural purpose but also to generate raw materials for industries. Most of the developing countries trade lignocellulosic fibers for improving economic condition of poor farmers as much as country support. Recently polymer composites containing cellulosic fibers are under focus in literature as well as industries [2]. The olive oil extraction processes generates huge amounts of solid lignocellulosic waste, representing 30-35% by weight of the olive fruit. The chemical composition of which; mainly composed of lignin, hemicellulose and cellulose. Olive waste has a growing potential as a reinforcement filler materials among many other uses [3][4][5][6][7][8]. Qutaiba studied of a new range of sustainable reinforced polymer composite materials using powdered olive pits as a novel filler material to be used with epoxy resin. Also the influence of the untreated and treated powder loading (weight fraction) on the void content and the mechanical properties of the composites was examined. The results show significant improvements in mechanical properties for composites reinforced with treated olive pits than composites reinforced with untreated olive pits [9]. An investigation was carried out on the effects of olive pit and almond shell powder ratio on the mechanical, wear and friction properties of polypropylene polymer composites. Olive pit and almond shell powder, in four different concentrations (10, 20, 30 and 40 wt %), was added to PP to produce composites. The properties, including density, water absorption, Vicat softening point, heat deflection temperature, wear rate, friction of the composites were investigated.

“…Pineapple leaf fibre (PALF) is one of the waste materials in agriculture sector, which is widely grown in Malaysia as well as Asia. After banana and citrus, pineapple (Ananas comosus) is one of the most essential tropical fruits in the world [8]. Natural fibres influenced mechanical strength due to chemical composition such as to cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin and its orientation and some other factors such as type of plant, environmental factors during growth as well as extraction methods used [9].…”

“…Pineapple leaf fiber (PALF) was selected as reinforcement materials for phenolic resin due to the following reasons. First, PALF has good tensile strength (400-1600 MPa) and modulus (59 GPa) due to its high cellulose content 70-82% and high degree of crystallinity [8]. Second, since pineapple can be cultivated throughout the South-East Asia, it is possible for significant domestic production of PALF [23].…”

Abstract. Pineapple leaf fibre (PALF) was hybridized with kenaf fibre in order to achieve superior physical and flammability performance. The mixing effects of kenaf fibre and pineapple leaf fibre in phenolic composites are evaluated at various fibre ratios and investigated various physical properties such as density, void content water absorption, thickness swelling and flammability. Pure kenaf fibre composite showed lowest void content, water absorption and thickness swelling while pineapple leaf fibre revealed the opposite trend. After adding pineapple leaf fibre in kenaf composites, it absorbed more moisture and developed more void contents. Density of PALF composite was lower and kenaf fibre composite was highest but PALF/kenaf hybrid composite increased density with higher PALF. The flammability of hybrid composites were analysed by using UL-94 test method. Vertical and horizontal UL-94 test conducted to analyse fire resistance of composites from different angles. Phenolic resin is itself a fire resistant polymer and the percentage of polymer in all samples are fixed though ratios of both fibres pineapple leaf fibre and kenaf were change to analyse fire resistant of fibres and compatibility with polymers. The 70 % pineapple leaf fibre and 30 % kenaf fibre hybrid composites were very affective to improve the flammability of PALF/KF hybrid composites. 1.Introduction As far as the environment is the concern, renewable resources of materials are the best alternative material of good economic potential and protection of nature, since, the renewable resources are characterized as biodegradable and recyclable, lignocellulosic fibres belong to this category [1]. Nowadays, natural fibres as reinforced material have been increased considerably due its low price compared to synthetic fibers [2]. Waste management of lignocellulosic and renewable materials and poor mechanical strength and thermal stability of polymers can be improved by developing natural fibres reinforced polymer composites [3][4][5]. Some plants fibres have potential to be applied in industries as raw materials such as pineapple, kenaf, coir, abaca, sisal, cotton, jute, bamboo, banana, Palmyra, talipot, hemp, and flex [6][7]. Pineapple leaf fibre (PALF) is one of the waste materials in agriculture sector, which is widely grown in Malaysia as well as Asia. After banana and citrus, pineapple (Ananas comosus) is one of the most essential tropical fruits in the world [8]. Natural fibres influenced mechanical strength due to chemical composition such as to cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin and its orientation and some other factors such as type of plant, environmental factors during growth as well as extraction methods used [9]. Usage of natural fibre can replace synthetic fibres to minimise health hazards, low density and high flexibility [10].Recently, polymer hybrid composites have become the attraction into production of mechanical stable and renewable products [11]. Polymer hybrid composites are formed by incorporating two and
