Polylactic acid (PLA) biocomposites reinforced with coir fibres: Evaluation of mechanical performance and multifunctional properties (2014, background): “Notwithstanding the traditional use of coir fibres as yarn, rope, flooring-furnishing materials or mats [10], more new applications concentrate on acoustic and thermal insulation [11], automobiles for seat cushions and constructions [12, 13].”
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.”
Noise Control Using Coconut Coir Fiber Sound Absorber with Porous Layer Backing and Perforated Panel (2010, background): “Several researchers (Khedari et al., 2003; 2004; Zulkifli et al., 2008) have succeeded in developing particle composite boards using agricultural wastes.”
A review of unconventional sustainable building insulation materials (2015, unknown): “064 W/mK and a density of 428 kg/m(3) [69,70].”
Mechanical properties and hygroscopicity behavior of compressed earth block filled by date palm fibers (2014, background): “The latest studies appeared on the CEB have shown that the addition of natural fibers reduces the size of shrinkage cracks and improves durability and the tensile strength [5,6,14–16] and decreases the thermal conductivity of composite materials [17,18].”
