In this article, the alpha cellulose from pineapple leaf fibre (PALF) was obtained from the leaves of pineapple plant, Ananas comosus belonged to the family Bromeliaceae.
Abstract
The main component in natural fibre is cellulose (C6H10O5)n. Cellulose from agricultural by-product is abundant, low cost, eco-friendly, biodegradable, and renewable. This research work was prepared alpha cellulose from pineapple leaf fibre (PALF), which obtained from the leaves of pineapple plant, Ananas comosus belonged to the family Bromeliaceae. The treated and untreated samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD).

Characteristics of cellulose extracted from Josapine pineapple leaf fibre after alkali treatment followed by extensive bleaching

TL;DR: In this article, the authors extract and characterise cellulose obtained from pineapple (Ananas comosus) leaves of the cultivar Josapine and use X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy to identify cellulose I. This extracted cellulose is light yellow to pure white in colour.

Structure and properties of some vegetable fibres: Part 2Pineapple fibre (Anannus Comosus)

TL;DR: In this paper, the stress-strain curves for pineapple leaf fibre have been analyzed. And the failure of the fibres is mainly due to large defect content of the fibre bo1h along the fibre and through the cross-section, The crack is always initiated by the defective cells and further aggravated by the weak bonding material between the cells.
