1. Assessment of coconut fibers for textile applications
ABSTRACT Brazil is the fourth larger producer in coconut fruit in the world. However, the industry processes only a small portion of coconut byproducts, which have caused serious environmental problems. The purpose of this article is to test an alternative for the recovery of coconut byproduct. In a series of experiments, recovered coconut fibers (coir) were

2. Ballistic Application of Coir Fiber Reinforced Epoxy Composite in Multilayered Armor
Multilayered armor systems (MAS) composed of relatively lighter materials with capacity to provide personal ballistic protection are being extensively investigated and used in armor vests. A typical MAS to stand high impact energy 7.62 mm bullet has a front ceramic followed by an aramid fabric laminate, such as Kevlar™. Since both the army and municipal po

3. Tensile Behavior of lignocellulosic reinforced polyester composites: Part III coir fiber
The fiber extracted from the husk of a coconut fruit, known as coir fiber, has been extensively investigated as a second phase incorporation into polymer composites. The moderate strength of the coir fiber usually does not represent reinforcement to relatively strong thermoset matrices such as polyester, epoxy and phenolic. However, a selection of thinner co

4. Preparation and characterization of biodegradable composites based on Brazilian cassava starch, corn starch and green coconut fibers
Increasing search for new materials with high premium on eco-friendliness, new trend is emerging in materials development such as composites, which are well established for a wide variety of applications. With growing interest and importance of renewable bioresources has led to more stress on the use of locally available materials. This paper presents prelim

5. DEVELOPMENT OF A GYPSUM COMPOSITES AND DUST COCONUT FIBER. / DESENVOLVIMENTO DE COMPÓSITOS A BASE DE GESSO E PÓ DE FIBRAS DE COCO
The uses of renewable materials, as well as the reduction, reuse and recycling of the residues indicates the search for technological alternatives for sustainable development. In this context are the materials used in building. For the plaster is the building the largest market, because its use from the core products, and also from the first constructive ste

6. COMPÓSITOS À BASE DE RESINA EPÓXI REFORÇADOS COM FIBRA DE COCO / COMPOSITES BASED ON EPOXY RESIN REINFORCED WITH COCONUT FIBER
Polymer composites reinforced with fibers are of great interest in the automotive industry, with emphasis to epoxy resin reinforced with glass fibers However, these fibers exhibit abrasive behavior causing wear of equipment, making it susceptible to the loss of properties due to the breakdown of fibers during processing, high cost of manufacturing. In turn,

7. Estudo do comportamento mecânico de estruturas de solo-cimento reforçado com fibras de coco e hastes de bambu
In this work the use of coconut fiber (coir) and bamboo shafts as reinforcement of soil-cement was studied, in order to obtain an alternative material to make stakes for fences in rural properties. The main objective was to study the effect of the addition of reinforcement to the soil-cement matrix. The effect of humidity on the mechanical properties was als
