Abstract

Along with the conventional applications of coir and related by-products, researchers have attempted to utilize the properties of coir for a large array of unique applications. Production of nanofibers and nanofillers, carbon nanotubes, ceramics, and brake linings using coir by-products has also been attempted. Further, the low cost and good sorption ability have been considered useful for removal of oil. Increasing interest in biodegradable and environmentally friendly materials is expected to make coir a preferred source for developing various new applications and products. Coir fibers and other coir by-products show immense potential for developing new and varied products.
