Abstract

In this experiment, composite furniture decoration plate was prepared by a hot pressing process with pineapple leaf fibre added into the composite material made using Regenerated Leather/Chloroprene Rubber Adhesive (RL/CR/PLF). It was found that the best appearance of the composite plate was that prepared by adding 15% pineapple leaf fibre. Compared with the composite plate without pineapple leaf fibre, it was found that the tensile strength, elongation at break, collapse height, collapse strength and air permeability were reduced compared with the original, while the water permeability, surface wettability and water absorption were greatly improved.
