Acoustic characterization of natural fibers for sound absorption applications (2015, background): “The coconut fiber has excellent characteristics of thermal insulation and sound absorption [10,44].”
Acoustical and fire-retardant properties of jute composite materials (2011, background): “In line with above, sound absorption panel produced from particle composite boards using agricultural wastes [4–6], industrial tea-leaf fibre [7] waste materials, have challenged researchers to develop novel enhanced sound proofing material made up of natural fibre [8].”
Development of coconut coir-based lightweight cement board (2007, unknown): “Development of composite materials [17,18] for buildings using natural ﬁber such as coconut coir and durian ﬁber with low thermal conductivity is an interesting alternative which would solve environment and energy concern.”
Biodegradability of conventional and bio-based plastics and natural fiber composites during composting, anaerobic digestion and long-term soil incubation. (2013, background): “Approximately 46% of coconut coir is lignin [43] as is 21e40% of rice hulls [44] which may have limited their biodegradation.”
Traditional, state-of-the-art and renewable thermal building insulation materials: An overview (2019, background): “Khedari et al. [13] developed a new low-cost particle-board from durian peel and coconut coir mixture with a lower thermal conductivity (0.1342 W = ð m : K Þ ), which was effective for energy saving when used as ceiling and wall insulating material.”
