Mechanical properties and microstructure of cocos nucifera (coconut) coir fibres

In this research, the mechanical properties of three types of coconut (cocos nucifera) fibres were investigated specifically young coconut (YC), ripe coconut (RP) and Komeng coconut (KC). Tensile test was carried out using Universal Testing Machine with a load capacity of 5kN in accordance to ASTM D...
