Natural fibres including sisal, kenaf, pineapple leaf, and banana fibre have emerged as a promising alternative to synthetic fibre because of their lower production costs and greater availability. This study examines the relationship between the fibre content and the tensile characteristics of composites made from polypropylene (PP) and polylactic acid (PLA) and reinforced with pineapple leaf fibre (PALF). Composite material samples utilising PALF as the reinforcing ingredient will be made using polypropylene and polylactic acid. There has been research done on PP and PLA composites with varying amounts of fibre (0, 15, 30, and 50% by volume). Injection moulding was employed in the production of PALF-PP/PLA composites, and tensile test specimens were manufactured in accordance with ASTM D638-14. The 15% PP-PALF and 30% PLA-PALF composition was found to have the highest tensile strength and elongation of the tested materials. In contrast, 15% PP-PALF and 50% PLA-PALF ranked highest in elastic modulus because their resistance to deformation within the elastic range was greatest. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
