Study on potential coconut fiber as shock absorbing product

Coconut fiber is extracted from the coconut husk which has potential to create shock absorbing product. In this study, natural fibers (coconut fiber) is used in the manufacturing of composite material which is cheap and environmental friendly. Natural fiber was used to replace the existing syntheti...
