India has large resources of natural fibres such as Banana, Khus, Sisal, Korai grass,Talipot, Palm leaf, Coconut, Pineapple, Screwpine, Golden grass, Jute and Sabaiamong others. In the past, trade of the village folk depended on harvesting fibresgrown in their villages. Natural fibers have recently gaining attraction of researchersdue to their low cost eco-friendly and biodegradability characte...

Natural coir fibers, subjectd to thermal treatments in the range of 0oC to 200oC and alkali treatment with 5% to 30% concentration w/w, have been used in the present investigation to determine the interlayer variability of the cellulose planes (020), (110) and (110). Among the equatorial reflections (110), (110) and (020), the extent of variability is found to be more with the proportion of suc...

This study aims to determine the composition of oxide, characteristics palm shell and coir, silica gel synthesized. The oxide composition, crystallinity, coir ash functional groups were analyzed using XRF, XRD, FTIR. Analysis crystallinity FT-IR XRD. results showed SiO2 in was 76%, form quartz cristobalite more dominant than amorphous SiO2. synthesis success indicated by appearance peaks with l...

In recent years, composite material replaces conventional like metal, wood etc due to its light weight, high strength weight ratio and stiffness properties. Natural fibers coir, bamboo fiber, banana plant fiber has low cost, easily availability less harmful human. this work, coir is used as a reinforced material. Composites were prepared with different of epoxy resin. To find the effect on mech...

Coir fibers are natural with high tensile strength and pressure resistance, making them an alternative soil reinforcement material. However, the effect of fiber length on improving consolidation properties has yet to be largely explored. Therefore, this study investigated content coir soft mechanical behavior through a series one-dimensional tests. Fibers >10 mm 30 >30 50 lengths were mix...
