Mechanical properties of chemical treated pineapple leaf fiber reinforced polyester composites filled with nanoclay

Abstract This study investigates the mechanical performance of nanoclay-filled pineapple leaf fibre (PALF) reinforced polyester composites prepared using the hand lay-up technique followed by compression moulding. The influence of PALF content (5–25 wt.%), nanoclay loading (0–4 w...
