Appraisal of mechanical properties of different particle sizes of palm kernel shell, coconut shell and mixed palm kernel-coconut shells particles epoxy-filled composites

Sri Lankan Journal of Physics, 2020
This study presents the appraisal of indentation hardness and flexural modulus of composites prepared by mixing particles of palm kernel shell (PKS), coconut shell (CNS) and mixtures of palm kernel-coconut shell (MPKCNS) of different sizes (35.5 μm, 75 μm and 106 μm) with epoxy and hardener for various applications. The Rockwell hardness tester results

Characterizing haploinsufficiency of SHELL gene to improve fruit form prediction in introgressive hybrids of oil palm [PDF]

, 2017
The fundamental trait in selective breeding of oil palm (Eleais guineensis Jacq.) is the shell thickness surrounding the kernel. The monogenic shell thickness is inversely correlated to mesocarp thickness, where the crude palm oil accumulates. Commercial

The effect of mechanical grinding on the mesoporosity of steam-activated palm kernel shell activated carbons [PDF]

, 2009
Background: Palm kernel shell activated carbon (OPSA) produced by steam gasification at high temperatures generally results in high surface areas of 1146 to 1600 m2 g−1, attributed to the high volume of micropores (0.43 to 0.56 cm3 g−1). The mesoporosity
