Download scientific diagram | (a) Coconut (b) Coconut shell (c) Coconut fibre 3. Chemical properties of coconut fibres with application In order to study the character of a material, we need to study its behaviour at microscopic stage where the electron can only be detected by powerful equipment such as the scanning electron microscope (SEM). There was enhanced interfacial interaction and wettability between coconut shell and unsaturated saturated polyester as studied under SEM [77]. There was reported good interfacial interaction between coconut shell fibre and epoxy resin [78,72,79,91]. Poor interfacial interaction between coconut particle and low density polyethene matrix occur using maximum of 25% of the composite this resulted to reduced mechanical strength [80]. Coconut ash was observed to have similar chemical characteristics with fly ash and rice husk [81]. The mesocarp of cocos nucifera finds its usefulness in the synthesis of silver nanoparticle that can be used as an insecticide [82]. Silicone oxide was extracted from coconut husk which showed up to 11% content in the husk and up to 90% when treated with chemical [83]. from publication: A Preliminary Study on Chemical and Physical Properties of Coconut Shell Powder as an Enhancer in Building Ceilings for Construction Industry: A Mini Review | It is necessary to carry out study on the historical behaviour of coconut shell (CS) on different kind of materials so as to appraise its potential in utilizing industrial waste for building ceiling.
