Abstract
Recently, natural fibres composite is rigorously explored as alternative fibres due to the source depletion of petroleum. This research was focusing on pineapple leaf (PALF). The purpose of this research was to study the single fibre tensile properties of PALF. The single fibre tensile test was conducted via the universal testing machine following ASTM D3379 – 89 standards. The result shows that the Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS) and Young’s Modulus of PALF were 141.093 MPa and 89.073 MPa, respectively. This research’s benefits include reducing agriculture waste of pineapple leaf, which is commonly being thrown out by the farmers when the fruits are harvested. It focuses not only on waste reduction but also on economic factors when other industries fully utilise the pineapple leaf.
