Interfacial Bonding Characteristics in Natural Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composites

Abstract

It is the aim of this piece of research to investigate Pineapple fiber reinforced composites based on natural fibers that are both eco-friendly and possess unique properties, and to take into account their various properties and their eco-friendliness. As a result of their strength, lightness, and affordability, pineapple fibre materials are considered to be stronger, lighter, and more affordable than traditional materials due to the fact that they are stronger, lighter, and more affordable than natural materials. It has been an important research subject for scientists in recent years to investigate the use of natural fibres as reinforcement materials for polymeric composites that can be used in technical applications. There are many advantages of natural fibers, such as continuous supply, easy handling, and a biodegradable nature, which make them a good choice when it comes to textiles. Due to its low cost, low density, hardness, better tolerance for harsh weather conditions, and good performance thermally and mechanically, natural fibres have gained a great deal of popularity worldwide because of their low cost, low density, hardness, and environmental friendliness. A large number of crops are produced every year around the world, and most of the waste produced by these crops does not have any use whatsoever. It is estimated that thousands of tons of different crops are produced every year. As it is well known, agricultural wastes include leaves from pineapples, dates seeds, and shells from various types of dry fruits, as well as other organic wastes. As part of this project, we have combined the wastes from pineapple leaves (PALF) into a single product. There are numerous promising applications for metal, such as the use of metal as an alternative to the construction of automobile bodies in the future, which are currently being investigated.
