Pineapple leaf fiber (PALF) which is rich in cellulose, relatively inexpensive, and abundantly available has the potential for polymer reinforcement. The present study investigated the tensile, flexural, and impact behavior of PALF-reinforced polyester composites as a function of fiber loading, fibe
## Abstract Longโfiber pellets were made by an __in situ__ pultrusion process. Fiberโreinforced composites were prepared by an injectionโmolding process and an extrusion/injectionโmolding method with pellets, respectively. SEM observations showed that the strong interface was maintained during the
The degree of mechanical reinforcement that could be obtained by the introduction of henequen cellulosic fibers in a low-density polyethylene, LDPE, matrix was assessed experimentally. Composite materials of LDPE-henequen cellulosic fibers were prepared by mechanical mixing. The concentration of ran
