Pineapple leaf fibers coated with polyacrylamide hydrogel
Pineapple leaf fibers (PALF) have several advantages such as low cost, eco-friendly, and high specific strength. However, the brittleness of PALF limits its application. To overcome this limitation of PALF, it is essential to synergize the advantages of PALF with elastic properties of hydrogel. In t...
