Drilling analysis of coir-fibre-reinforced polyester composites

open access: yesBulletin of Materials Science, 2011
An investigation has been carried out to make use of coir, a natural fibre abundantly available in India. Coir-polyester composites were prepared and their mechanical and machinability characteristics were studied. The short coir-fibre-reinforced composites exhibited the tensile, flexural and impact strength of 16·1709 MPa, 29·2611 MPa and 46·1740 J/m,

Miscanthus‐Derived Products for Material Applications: Can They Contribute to Greenhouse Gas Emission Mitigation?

open access: yesGCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 1, January 2026.
Miscanthus is a promising lignocellulosic biomass for diverse material applications. Biobased products are generally expected to offer greenhouse gas advantages over fossil alternatives, yet assessments vary due to methodological choices. This study systematically reviewed 20 peer‐reviewed studies covering 188 comparisons of miscanthus‐derived and ...

Mechanical Characterization of FRBC prepared from Coir Fibres

open access: yesInternational Journal of Engineering and Advanced Technology, 2019
This experimental study demonstrates the consequences of orientation of fibers in fibre reinforced biocomposite materials (FRBC) and its impact on their mechanical behaviour. Various samples of FRBC were synthesized from coir rope using hand layup method and epoxy resin in which orientation of coir rope was varied at 0°, 45° and 90° respectively.
