Abstrakt: The article focuses on the study of the physical, mechanical, and SEM of pineapple leaf fibre reinforced polyester composites. An investigation has been carried out in this relation to allow better use of PALF to manufacture value-added goods. Normal composites made from fibre are under intensive research because of their environmentally friendly nature and peculiar character. Their continuous supply is beneficial for natural fibres, simple to handle and naturally biodegradable. In this research, the hand lay up process was used to manufacture composites. SEM was used to clarify the topography of fibre, matrix adhesion, fibre breakage, and failure. Related with additional regular fibre composites based on cellulose, the PALF polyester composites have greater mechanical properties. It was also experiential that as the fibre content increase young's modulus and tensile strength also increases and it was found to be 2545 MPa and 66 MPa, respectively, at 40 Wt. %. Even compression strength & hardness values also increase with an increase in the fibre content at 40 Wt. %. The compression strength of 23 MPa and hardness of 83 was recorded. This was observed with SEM where fibres and matrix have exposed well miscibility at 40 wt. % of PALF. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
