Density Weibull Analysis of Pineapple Leaf Fibers (PALF) with Different Diameters

Abstract:

Societal, economical, technical and environmental advantages are today justifying the replacement of synthetic fibers by natural fibers. However, natural fibers obtained from plants do not present the same dimensional uniformity. In fact, they show large dispersion of values, as compared to synthetic fibers. In the case of the lignocellulosic fiber extracted from the pineapple leaf, limited information exists regarding the correlation between its properties and dimensional characteristics. In particular, so far, no investigation has been carried out on the influence of the diameter and the density of pineapple fibers. Therefore, the objective of this work was to measure the density of pineapple fibers and to define, by means of the Weibull statistic method, its dependence on the corresponding fiber diameter.
