In this experiment, pineapple leaf fibre was added to the composite material made by combining natural latex/regenerated leather to create by hot pressing a home decoration composite material. It was found that the appearance and quality of the composite prepared by adding 15% pineapple leaf fibre gave the best results. Compared with the composite without the addition of pineapple leaf fibre, it was found that the tensile strength, elongation at break, breaking strength, air permeability, water permeability, water absorption and surface wettability were greatly improved, which made it more suitable for making home decoration products.
