Thermal properties of pineapple leaf fiber reinforced composites

Synthesis of Zeolite-X Supported on Kapok Fiber for CO₂ Capture Material: Variation of Immersion Time during Fiber Activation

“…3). These result supporting the result of AFM that shown the increase of surface roughness, resulting in better adhesion between fiber surface and zeolite-X and also increase the amount of cellulose on the fiber surface, thus increasing the number of possible reaction sites [20]. It is also supported by the result of SEM in Fig.…”

“…At the first stage about 200 °C, the sample has weight loss 21 wt.% because of decomposition of lignin and hemicellulose of fiber. It was then followed by a second stage with 30 wt.% of loss, at temperature of 350 °C because of decomposition of cellulose crystalline and zeolite-X on fiber surface [20]. Therefore, this sample has stability thermal up to 300 °C.…”

Study on Pineapple Leaves Fibre and its Polymer based Composite: A Review

“…Though there are some limitations of using the PALF in some applications. At low temperatures, it becomes softer and easy to remove from mould [76].There are very few research works published on the PALF reinforced with polymers [77].…”

Investigations on Thermal Conductivity of Palm Fibre Reinforced Polyester Composites

“…The thermal conductivity of the composite increased with fibre length but decreased with fibre orientation angle with respect to specified measured direction. Mangal et al [5] studied the effect of volume fraction of pine apple leaf fibre on thermal properties of the composite using transient plane source technique. Increasing the fibre content in the matrix decreases the thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity of the pine apple leaf fibre reinforced composite which means that it could not provide the conductive path to the heat energy in the composite material.…”
