Abstract
Natural fibre composites are preferred for various static and dynamic applications owing to its biodegradable capacity and strength. Pineapple fibres obtained by the retting process from pineapple leaf were successfully reinforced with epoxy resin with different fibre volume percentage. The wear rate and the thermogravimetric analysis of the polymer composite were studied. It was discovered that 30% reinforcement of pineapple fibre resulted in better wear and higher glass transition temperature due to the optimal fibre volume fraction and enough wetting of the resin on the fibre.
