Mechanical Performance of a New Coir Fiber Laminated Composites

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to overcome the uneven distribution of coir fiber density in the materials and the poor forming of the outer surface, a new type of coir fiber hybrid laminated composites has been developed. The non-woven needle felts of coir fiber are added as the core material, wood veneers are as the surface material, and E-type glass fiber felts are as the reinforcement material, the preparation of hybrid laminated composites has been carried out. Through the performance testing and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis, a new type of biomass composite with excellent performance has been successfully developed. The application of coir fiber to obtain good impact toughness of composites has been effectively verified.
