Conference Paper Description

Natural fibresFibre are gaining popularity because they are more rigid and have greater specific strength than glass-reinforced composites. Every fibreFibre has different characteristics and natural fibresFibre reinforced composite develop great mechanical properties. Surface modification by chemical treatment also had a great impactImpact on the properties of the composites. Research regarding pineapplePineapple leaf fibreFibre (PALF) recently, had high mechanical strength. In this research, the PALF/Polylactic acid (PLA) composites filament were produced. The process started with grinding, sieving, surface modification of the fibreFibre followed by the hot compress, crushing, and finally filament extrusionExtrusion. The results revealed the PALF/PLA composites were successfully extruded into filament. However, further investigation regarding mechanical and thermal testings are needed to prove the strength and the printability of the composites.
