Characterization and Utilization of Coconut Fibers of the Caribbean
MRS Proceedings, 2014ABSTRACTIn many tropical countries coconut (coir) fiber production is a major source of income for rural communities. The Caribbean has an abundance of coconuts but research into utilizing its by-products is limited. Environmentally friendly coir fibers are natural polymers generally discarded as waste material in this region.

On the hygrothermal behavior of coconuts fiber insulators on green roofs
2020 IEEE International Conference on Environment and Electrical Engineering and 2020 IEEE Industrial and Commercial Power Systems Europe (EEEIC / I&CPS Europe), 2020Coconut fibre insulators, represent an insulating material considered as “exotic”, which clashes with the doubts of his thermo-hygrometric behavior, in particular, in the case of covering technology such as green roofs, a technological solution adopted in the case of sustainable buildings or nearly zero energy building.

Building Thermal Insulation—Biodegradable Sugarcane and Coconut Fiber
Journal of Thermal Envelope and Building Science, 2000Apparent thermal conductivity, Λ, measurements were conducted on sugarcane and coconut fiber specimens using LaserComp “FOX 304” and Holometrix “Rapid-k” heat-flow meters. Both heat-flow meters were built and operated in accordance with ASTM C 518.

The Internal Structure of Coir (Coconut) Fiber
Proceedings, annual meeting, Electron Microscopy Society of America, 1985The source of commercial coir fiber (actually, a vascular strand) is the massive fibrous husk (3-5 cm thick) surrounding the coconut. This paper reports a SEM study of some aspects of this interesting fiber. The specimens were sputter coated with Au Pd and observed with 4 KV accelerating voltage.A cut cross section of a retted coir fiber is seen in ...

Coconut fiber as a growing media for vegetables
2006This is a major step forward in hydroponic's media technology. This is the first "organic" medium which offers top-performance in modern hydroponics applications. Coconut fiber offers many unique advantages - it maintains a larger oxygen capacity than the fines rockwool. Coconut fiber is also very high in naturally occurring rooting hormones. It offers
