“…Among these, pineapple leaves, often discarded as waste after harvesting the fruit, boast promising chemical composition and mechanical properties that can be harnessed to produce valuable natural fibers [7]. Transforming pineapple leaves into dielectric material for electrical appliances is a sustainable approach that adds value to pineapple waste [7,[11][12][13][14][15].…”

Pineapple, known for its delicious taste and nutritional value, generates substantial waste in the form of cores, leaves, and skin, resulting in significant yearly accumulations. Efficient disposal of pineapple waste has become a critical challenge due to its increasing production and potential environmental pollution. The objective of this paper is to volarize natural fibre derived from pineapple waste by fabricating it into a new dielectric composite material. The fabrication process of dielectric composite material was achieved by using the optimization technique through Design Expert software, resulting in noteworthy findings. Then, the properties of the fabricated materials were analysed in terms of their permittivity value and elemental composition. The permittivity value of the newly fabricated dielectric materials was measured using the vector network analyser (VNA) method, while their elemental composition was characterized using energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy. The correlation between elemental composition and the permittivity value of newly fabricated composite materials is analysed in this paper. As a result, the dielectric composite material attained its highest permittivity (4.08) when composed of 76.02% carbon and 22.61% oxygen. Conversely, the material exhibited a lower permittivity value (2.87) when its carbon content decreased to 69.32% and its oxygen content increased to 29.81%. This outcome highlights the crucial role of carbon in absorbing and storing electromagnetic signals, influencing the dielectric properties of the material. In conclusion, this paper unveils a ground-breaking use for waste pineapple leaves, showcasing how their carbon content significantly affects the resulting dielectric composite material's permittivity. This innovative eco-friendly material presents a sustainable alternative for non-recyclable dielectric materials in electronic devices such as PCBs, antennas, and sensors, for example.

Using natural fibres is often recommended as polymer composite materials owing to their potential to reduce the pollution of synthetic material waste. This study aimed to obtain the physical properties of unsaturated polyester resin matrix composite containing calcium carbonate fillers of 15 and 30 parts per hundred weights of the resin and natural pineapple leaf fibre of the amount 20% and 30% of the composite weight. The composite samples were three millimetres thick, with the pineapple leaf fibres arranged in one longitudinal direction. Some parameters observed included density, water absorption, response to fire, hardness, tensile strength, modulus of elasticity, and impact strength. The results showed that adding calcium carbonate filler into the matrix increased the density, water absorption, hardness, and modulus of elasticity of the composite. However, it reduced the flame propagation rate, tensile strength, and impact strength. Also, the use of pineapple leaf fibre contributed to increased water absorption, rate of flame propagation, tensile strength, modulus of elasticity, and impact strength of the composite, but it reduced the density and hardness. As these samples use economical materials, they are likely valuable for building materials that do not require high mechanical properties, especially guttering materials.
