“…Compared to synthetic fibers, coir fibers are more elastic and have a higher coefficient of friction [10][11]. So far, coconut coir waste has been employed as handicraft materials and household appliances [12]. In addition, the tofu home industry utilizes coconut fibers mixed with wood as fuel.…”

Coir waste randomly mixed into soil is an alternative material for strengthening expansive clay. However, these materials cannot reduce swelling due to water, requiring chemical stabilization. This study combined coir fibers with a mixture of coir-wood ash, the waste from the tofu home industry. No studies have utilized such a combination of structural materials. This study aims to examine the soaked and unsoaked California Bearing Ratio (CBR), swelling, unconfined compressive strength (UCS), and tensile strength of soil mixed with 0.75% fibers, and ash with varying content: 0%, 2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, and 10% of the mixture's total weight. The curing time was seven days, 14 days, and 28 days. Testing refers to ASTM. The test results unveiled that the unsoaked CBR, soaked CBR, UCS, and tensile strength increased with rising ash content and curing time. A 6%-8% ash content produced the highest CBR, UCS, and tensile strength. On the other hand, by including a 6%-10% ash content, the swelling was decreased to 0%. Combining coir fiber and coir-wood ash has proven very effective for stabilizing expansive clays. In comparison to soils merely reinforced with fiber, the addition of coir-wood ash can eliminate swelling and increase the value of soaked CBR, UCS, tensile strength, and secant modulus up to 534%, 349%, 105%, and 824 %, respectively.

“…Salim [14] fabricated three various hybrid composites: bamboo/pineapple leaves, bamboo/pineapple leaves/coconut fiber, and neat polyester bamboo composite. The mechanical qualities of coconut fiber improved as a result of the developed materials, with 38% higher mechanical performance than the other two variations.…”

Current research finds the suitability of natural fiber-reinforced polymer composites for industrial, automotive, marine, aerospace, and military vehicle applications, among others; they process being lightweight, high strength, ecofriendly, recyclable, and biodegradable. Bamboo fiber (Bambusoideae) mat, groundnut shell (Cocos nucifera) powder, copper particle, and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) fillers with epoxy resin are the primary materials. The key responsibility of MWCNT as a nanofiller is to improve the performance of materials by more than 80% and to attract the desirable properties such as high specific energy absorption of CNTs. An extensive investigation was carried out to determine the weight ratio between the total density and the water absorption rate of the composite. The maximal tensile and flexural strengths derived from EBGCM2 (E: epoxy; B: bamboo; G: groundnut shell; C: copper particle; M: MWCNT) were 50.66 MPa and 59.03 MPa, respectively. Addition of MWCNTs to specimens EBGCM2 and EBGCM3 and bonding the filler matrix by homogeneous mixing, but few nanoparticles are seen agglomerated. Flexural abilities of groundnut fiber/filler loading to strengthen the hybrid nanocomposites and the impact strength both quite improved than EB1 specimen. The neat epoxy and bamboo fiber composite (EB1) achieved 87.5 Shore-D hardness. SEM revealed (EBGCM3) improved interfacial adhesion between fiber and epoxy resin, but few nanoparticles are agglomerated, small molecules linked between the fibrous matrix, and the binding elements trapped in neighboring atoms, forming structural chains by the polymerization process.
