“…Overall, FMLs showed the highest absolute and specific mechanical properties. Feng et al 175 obtained similar results when the absolute and specific mechanical properties of pineapple leaf fiber-reinforced FMLs were compared with those of composites and fabric counterparts; that is, the absolute and specific mechanical properties of the FMLs were higher than those of composites and fabric counterparts. Kandare et al 176 examined the effect of notch sensitivity on the static and dynamic properties of flax-based FMLs.…”

The development of hybrid materials consisting of alternating layers of metal alloys and polymeric composites has revolutionized the engineering field. These metal‐composite laminates combine the merits of each individual component, forming advanced and promising structures which could be employed for structural applications. The low fatigue crack growth rate and high damage tolerance of these materials are particularly fascinating. When developing metal‐composite laminates with superb functional properties, the combination of several metal surface treatment techniques is a common practice to ensure optimum metal‐composite adhesion. Today, a new cutting‐edge manufacturing technique utilizing nano‐porous network film has been established to get rid of the massive infrastructure of conventional autoclave techniques and produce first‐rate materials. Even though various techniques can be adopted to manufacture metal‐composite laminates, the selection of the techniques is highly dependent on the nature of the polymer matrix. After the manufacture of the metal‐composite laminates, post‐stretching is considered a critical step to alleviate the unfavorable residual stress to ensure the optimum performance of these materials for long‐term service. When dealing with natural fibers, it is worth mentioning that the processing temperature should be limited to below 200°C regardless of manufacturing technique to avoid fiber degradation. Metal‐composite laminates consisting of synthetic/natural fibers are considered a viable option to offset the demerits of each kind of fibers. By incorporating fatigue‐resilient natural fibers in the laminates, it is expected that the overall fatigue resistance of the laminates can be apparently enhanced, which is in line with the initial goal of developing metal‐composite laminates.Highlights Fiber bridging offers fiber‐metal laminates with superior fatigue properties. Metal surface treatment is vital to ensure an optimum fiber‐bridging mechanism. A novel out‐of‐autoclave method can produce first‐grade fiber‐metal laminates. Post‐stretching is needed to lessen residual stress in fiber‐metal laminates. Hybrid fiber‐metal laminates are feasible for structural applications.

“…The non-climacteric tropical crop pineapple is one of the most important plants in the bromeliad family. PALF is a kind of relatively compatible multicellular lignocellulosic fiber with low density (0.8-1.6g/cm3) and good chemical composition, containing a lot of cellulose (67.12%-83%), lignin (4.4%-15.4%), hemicellulose (15%-20%), and some mineral chemicals, such as wax, pectin, fat, inorganic，anhydride [10,11]and so on Because wax content in the fiber is higher, PALF has a white, silky color and a softer surface than other natural fibers. Among various plant leaf fibers, the highest amount of cellulose content and low microfibrillar angle are found in PALF, which chiefly contribute to its superior tensile performance.…”

Because of the increase in demand and the enhancement of environmental awareness, researchers are committed to the research and development of innovative, high-performance, and low-cost green materials, especially since there is a large amount the study of natural fiber reinforced composite materials. An abundance of waste of pineapple leaves in Malaysia every year. If pineapple leaf fibers (PALF) can be extracted from the waste of pineapple leaves and made into green composites, it can not only solve the agricultural waste but also produce environment-friendly green composite materials to be applied in related industries. The main purpose of this review is to give an overview of recent developments in PALF reinforced composites as well as their properties. In this short review, the characteristics of PALF and its composites, the mechanical properties and the environmental impact of PALF reinforced composite are studied. In the future, with the increasing research on PALF, selection of different composite materials and design of appropriate structures, the performance of PALF reinforced composites will significantly be improved, and thus has great potential to be widely used in product production and manufacturing.

The main limitations of using natural fibers reinforced unsaturated polyester (UPE) composites is poor impact damage behaviors. This work focuses to improve impact damage resistance and residual strength of needle punched banana and pineapple fibers UPE composites by hybridization and incorporating stainless steel (SS) mesh. Different configurations such as banana/UPE (PB), pineapple/UPE (PP) and banana/pineapple/UPE (H) composites were fabricated. Later, SS mesh was incorporated in PB, PP and H composites which are denoted as BS, PS and HS respectively. All specimens were impacted with incident energy of 3.5 and 15 J using Fractovis instrumental low velocity impact tester at 2 and 4 m/s respectively. Subsequently, residual strength of impacted specimens was estimated using three point bending test. Results reveal that the HS composites have least residual dent of 0.89 and 3.9 mm and maximum contact force of 1507 and 1959 N were obtained under the impacted velocity of 2 and 4 m/s respectively, which indicated better damage resistance followed by PS, PP, BS, H and PB specimens. Similarly, the least absorbed energy of 1.9 and 12 J observed in HS composites showed better impact damage tolerance. Moreover, the damage degree and performance index were computed and validated with obtained results. The least reduction of residual strength of 1.2% and 3.2% in HS composites confirmed the better impact damage resistance as compared with all other configurations. Finally, microstructural analysis was performed to correlate the impact induced damage mechanisms.Highlights HS composites exhibited the least residual dent of 0.89 mm Impact load bearing capacity of HS composites was drastically improved by 280% Strong interfacial adhesion between the banana fiber and SS mesh was observed HS composites showed greater impact resistance under both velocities There is no significant reduction of residual strength in HS composites
