Coir Fibers

Over past few years, the polymer composite materials based on coir fibers have grown rapidly and have even found new markets as well as many research projects due to its cost effect and environmentally-friendly manner. In Vietnam, the coir fibers have a good quality, especially in Ben Tre province. In this research, we investigated the size of coir fibers which was produced from dried nuts stripped via hand-made coir fiber extracting machine. The coir fibers with the largest diameter distribution have evaluated the average tensile strength. In the other hand, the coir fibers have treated via a sodium hydroxide solution process to obtained refine-coir fibers which were following investigated the mechanical testing based on composite materials of polyester resin. The results showed that the treatment of the sodium hydroxide solution process causes a decrease of coir fiber average diameter. Increasing the temperature and concentration of sodium hydroxide solution leads to the decreasing of coir fiber average diameter. Moreover, the optimum condition (5% of NaOH, 50oC) enhanced the tensile strength of fibers reaching to 40% comparing with those untreated fibers.

The sodium salt of 4-amino-3-nitrobenzenesulfonic acid (O-nitroaniline-p-sulfonic acid) has been prepared by the action of dilute sodium hydroxide solution on ethyl [(4-chlorosulfonyl-2-nitro)- phenyllcarbamate. Central to this synthesis is the finding that the N-ethoxycarbonyl group, when located ortho to a nitro group (but not to a bromo group), is readily removed by dilute sodium hydroxide solution.

ABSTRACTIn 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. Research has shown that coir fiber from other parts of the world has successfully been recycled. This paper therefore investigates the mechanical properties of Caribbean coir fiber for potential applications in civil engineering.Approximately four hundred fibers were randomly taken from a coir fiber stack and subjected to retting in both distilled and saline water media. The mechanical properties of both the retted and unretted coir fibers were evaluated at weekly increments for a period of 3 months. Tensile strength test, x-ray diffraction analysis and scanning electron micrographs were used to assess trends and relationships between fiber gauge lengths, diameter, tensile strength and Young’s modulus. Diameters ranged between 0.11 mm-0.46 mm, while fiber samples were no longer than 250 mm in length. The tensile strength and strain at break decreased as the gauge length increased for both unretted and retted fibers. The opposite occurred for the relationship between the gauge length and Young’s modulus. Additionally, the tensile strength and modulus decreased as the fiber diameter increased. Neither distilled nor saline water improved the coir fiber’s crystalline index. Scanning electron micrographs qualitatively assessed fiber surfaces and captured necking and microfibril degradation at the fractured ends.The analysis revealed that the tensile strength, modulus, strain at break and crystallinity properties of the Caribbean coir fibers were comparable to commercially available coir fiber which are currently being used in many building applications.
