Investigating the Influence of Stacking Sequences on the Physical and Mechanical Characteristics of Coconut Coir Fiber-Reinforced Unsaturated Polyester Composites

The coconut fruit is cultivated for fruit in tropical countries, whereas its husk and shell are a potential source of natural fiber, which is mostly disposed of as waste material. There is an increasing trend in research and innovation to replace synthetic fiber with natural fiber to reduce the envi...
