1. Assessment of coconut fibers for textile applications
ABSTRACT Brazil is the fourth larger producer in coconut fruit in the world. However, the industry processes only a small portion of coconut byproducts, which have caused serious environmental problems. The purpose of this article is to test an alternative for the recovery of coconut byproduct. In a series of experiments, recovered coconut fibers (coir) were

2. Avaliação de diferentes fatores na remoção de remazol brilliant blue de soluções aquosas por adsorção em fibras de cana de açúcar e coco verde
RESUMO As indústrias têxteis, durante o processo de tingimento, liberam uma grande quantidade de corantes na água. Além do seu efeito visual e seus impactos adversos em relação à fotossíntese e demanda química de oxigênio, muitos corantes sintéticos são tóxicos, recalcitrantes, mutagênicos e carcinogênicos. Dessa forma, novas alternativas de t

3. Crystallization kinetics of poly (butylene adipate terephthalate) in biocomposite with coconut fiber
RESUMO Os parâmetros da cristalização a partir do fundido de um composto de fibras lignocelulósicas de côco dispersas em poli (butileno adipato tereftalato) (PBAT), uma matriz de copoliéster totalmente biodegradável, foi estudada por calorimetria exploratória diferencial (DSC). Os compostos de PBAT/fibra de côco com 10% e 20% de fibra foram preparad

4. Aplicação de processo adsortivo para dessulfurização de combustíveis utilizando fibra de coco como adsorvente
RESUMO A presença de compostos orgânicos contendo enxofre nos combustíveis é um dos contribuintes da poluição atmosférica, pois quando entram em combustão nos motores, emitem poluentes derivados do enxofre, como os óxidos (SOx), que afetam negativamente a saúde humana e o meio ambiente. A remoção do excesso de enxofre presente na gasolina pode se

5. Effect of Carnauba Wax and Coconut Fiber Contents on Tensile Properties of Corn Starch-Based Biocomposites
This work aims investigate the changes on tensile properties of biocomposites obtained by addition of carnauba wax and coconut fibers in a corn starch matrix. The influence of carnauba wax and coconut fibers contents on tensile strength, modulus of elasticity and elongation at break was studied using a response surface methodology. A central composite design

6. Analytical Method Development for Fatty Acid Direct Methylation in Fruits
Due to the amount of pigments, sugars and fibers found in fruits, the fatty acid quantification process leads to errors, such as its amount underestimation in the matrix. Therefore, the proposed method allows performing experiments in shorter time with reduced amount of sample and reagent. Design Expert software was used to find the validated time for alkali

7. Production of biodegradable starch nanocomposites using cellulose nanocrystals extracted from coconut fibers
Abstract Different polymeric matrices have been investigated for use in the development of biodegradable films. The incorporation of cellulose nanocrystals in such films has particularly attracted attention because of the potential for achieving improved properties of starch nanocomposites. In the present study, cellulose nanocrystals were extracted from coc

8. Variation of structures of ingredients of desiccated coconut during hydrolysis by hydrochloric acid at low temperature
Abstract Owing to the high content of lignocellulose, desiccated coconut become a healthy material for dietary fiber supplementation. In this study, the changes in solubility of the fibers of desiccated coconut were evaluated. The changes of the pHs and weight losses were studied. Furthermore, variations of the ingredient structures of desiccated coconut by

9. Biocomposites reinforced with natural fibers:thermal, morphological and mechanical characterization
ABSTRACT This study evaluates the thermal, morphological and mechanical behavior of polypropylene (PP) composite with different natural fibers. The fibers used were wood, sugarcane, bamboo, babassu, coconut and kenaf with and without coupling agent. The thermal, morphological and mechanical properties were evaluated, and a composite PP+GFPP (glass fiber) was

10. Ballistic Application of Coir Fiber Reinforced Epoxy Composite in Multilayered Armor
Multilayered armor systems (MAS) composed of relatively lighter materials with capacity to provide personal ballistic protection are being extensively investigated and used in armor vests. A typical MAS to stand high impact energy 7.62 mm bullet has a front ceramic followed by an aramid fabric laminate, such as Kevlar™. Since both the army and municipal po

11. Polyhydroxybutyrate Composites with Random Mats of Sisal and Coconut Fibers
Biodegradable polymeric composites using natural fibers have been investigated aiming to mitigate environmental impacts. In this paper, polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) composites obtained using random mats of sisal and coconut fibers by compression molding in a hydraulic press, and the fiber content varied between 10% and 15% relative to the weight of the polymer.

12. The morphology of coconut fiber surface under chemical treatment
The objective of this study was to determine the effect of chemical treatment on the coconut fiber surface morphology. This study is divided into three stages, preparation of materials, treatment and testing of coconut fiber. The first treatment is coconut fiber soaked in a solution of NaOH for 3 hours with concentration, respectively 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%.
