“…On the other hand, extensive investigation has been carried out to study the effects of natural fiber reinforcement on polymer composites [ 25 , 26 , 27 ]. The majority of outcomes have agreed that reinforced natural fiber has a better performing load transfer mechanism, and results in higher mechanical properties [ 28 , 29 ]. Empty fruit bunch (EFB) fibers have shown comparable quality to high strength kenaf bast fibers [ 30 ].…”

In this study, a mixture of thermoplastic polybutylene succinate (PBS), tapioca starch, glycerol and empty fruit bunch fiber was prepared by a melt compounding method using an industrial extruder. Generally, insertion of starch/glycerol has provided better strength performance, but worse thermal and water uptake to all specimens. The effect of fiber loading on mechanical, morphological, thermal and physical properties was studied in focus. Low interfacial bonding between fiber and matrix revealed a poor mechanical performance. However, higher fiber loadings have improved the strength values. This is because fibers regulate good load transfer mechanisms, as confirmed from SEM micrographs. Tensile and flexural strengths have increased 6.0% and 12.2%, respectively, for 20 wt% empty fruit bunch (EFB) fiber reinforcements. There was a slightly higher mass loss for early stage thermal decomposition, whereas regardless of EFB contents, insignificant changes on decomposition temperature were recorded. A higher lignin constituent in the composite (for high natural fiber volume) resulted in a higher mass residue, which would turn into char at high temperature. This observation indirectly proves the dimensional integrity of the composite. However, as expected, with higher EFB fiber contents in the composite, higher values in both the moisture uptake and moisture loss analyses were found. The hydroxyl groups in the EFB absorbed water moisture through formation of hydrogen bonding.

The quality and commercial value of fruits largely depend on color, texture, appearance, nutritional value, and other factors that cease the growth of the microbes causing food spoilage. Coating with suitable edible material would keep fruits fresh for a considerable time after their harvest till it reaches to the demanding consumers. The nonedible portions (peel, crown) of pineapple are identified as an inexpensive source for the production of such edible coating material. The present work is focused on the extraction and physicochemical analysis of cellulose prepared from waste bio‐mass of pineapple fruit. Physicochemical characterization of the cellulose is performed using X‐ray diffraction, Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The extracted cellulose is converted to carboxymethyl cellulose and formulated as a coating film in conjugation with other suitable substances. The formulated coating is applied on banana fruit to check the performance of protection against the natural degradation of the fruit. FTIR analysis of the extracted cellulose has confirmed the removal of lignin and hemicelluloses molecules from the waste biomass of pineapple. X‐ray diffraction analysis has shown the crystal size of extracted cellulose was 3.23 nm with 35.62% crystallinity. Degree of substitution (DS) is estimated 0.523 for carboxymethyl cellulose prepared from the extracted cellulose. Application of coating has shown the increment in shelf‐life period of banana in comparison with control up to 8 days of storage at ambient condition. This study has demonstrated a sustainable process to transform waste biomass into carboxymethyl cellulose based coating for improving storage capacity of banana fruit.

“…Both the flax and pineapple fibers were used in 50/50 weight ratio. 36 The hybrid flax fiber composites with epoxy matrix showed good properties at a weight % of 35. Excess fiber addition results in structural abnormality in the matrix with more porous nature resulting in the reduction of properties.…”

In the current scenario, the applications of natural fibers are increasing enormously due to their biodegradability, low-density and better mechanical properties. This research explains the machining nature of pineapple (P) and flax (F) fibers by the incorporation of cellulose micro filler (CMF). These epoxy-based composites were manufactured using compression moulding. In the machining process using abrasive water jet machining (AWJM), lower kerf angle of 1.31° and surface roughness of 5.1 µm were observed in 30% PF/2% cellulose micro filler hybrid epoxy combination. Agglomeration at higher filler incorporation causes decrease in machinability of hybrid 30% PF. Pineapple and flax hybrid fibers with 30 and 35 wt % showed better machinability at 2 and 3% cellulose micro filler addition. Scanning electron microscopy analysis after machining process showed reduction in flush off and pullouts of fiber by improved compaction with the epoxy matrix due to filler addition.
