    A Review on Coir Fibre, Coir Fibre Reinforced Polymer Composites and Their Current Applications

    Chioma Ifeyinwa Madueke1,*, Okwunna Maryjane Ekechukwu2, Funsho Olaitan Kolawole3

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.12, No.12, pp. 2017-2047, 2024, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2024.055207 - 20 December 2024

    Abstract Coir fibre has generated much interest as an eco-friendly, sustainable fibre with low density. This review findings show that coir fibres are abundant, with an average global annual production of 1019.7 × 103 tonnes, with about 63% of this volume produced from India. Extraction of coir has been carried out through water retting. However, the retting period has been limited to 4–10 months. The lignin content of coir is more than 60% higher than that of other natural fibres; hence, coir could double as a source of lignin for other applications. The diameter of coir… More >

    Conceptual Design of Glass/Renewable Natural Fibre-Reinforced Polymer Hybrid Composite Motorcycle Side Cover

    M. A. F. A. Wahab1, S. M. Sapuan1,2,*, M. M. Harussani1, M. Y. M. Zuhri1, A. A. Saleh3

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.9, No.11, pp. 1973-1989, 2021, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2021.016221 - 04 June 2021

    Abstract This paper presents the development process relating to the conceptual design of glass/renewable natural fibrereinforced polymer hybrid composite motorcycle side cover. Motorcycle side cover is a component frequently made from plastic or steel that functions on covering the motorcycle parts, components and systems such as frame, battery, electrical systems and mechanical systems. Function Analysis Systems Techniques (FAST) is used to identify the functions of motorcycle side cover. The right-side cover of motorcycle model SYM E-Bonus 110 has been physically studied to identify the competitive benchmarking criteria. The functions and competitive benchmarking criteria are then compiled… More >
