Physical and flammability properties of kenaf and pineapple leaf fibre hybrid composites

Abstract: 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 revea… Show more

“…Meanwhile, the highest percentage of thickness swelling resulted in kenaf-reinforced phenolic (6.29%) and hybrid composites thickness swelling falling between the thickness swelling of both pure fiber composites. Thickness swelling was closely related to the fiber composite dimensional stability, which was influenced by temperature and humidity [ 30 ]. The micro-cracks in the interfacial area induced by natural fiber swelling can promote the diffusion of water through micro-cracks and voids [ 26 ].…”

“…Most natural fibers contain chemicals and impurities such as cellulose, lignin, hemicellulose, oil, and wax; this significantly affects their performance in terms of improving the mechanical properties and durability performance of cementitious composites [48]. Therefore, to derive the maximum benefits of natural fibers in concrete, researchers developed methods of treating them to remove the chemicals and impurities before applying in concrete and mortar.…”

“…It is assumed that KF will improve the flexural property, whereas the DPF will improve the impact strength because it has better shock-absorbing properties and high lignin content to improve the thermal stability. [17,25] It is assumed that hybridization of KF and DPF will reinforce the epoxy matrix in a better way.…”
