Abstract

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. A study of the characteristics of coconut shell as an additive on metals and materials as reported in literature will help forecast its performance on service. The trend of waste to wealth, smart manufacturing and eco-friendliness of product have been a focal area of research to proffer an enabling environment and enhanced lifestyle for human. This paper therefore explores the potential of this agro waste, its thermo-mechanical properties, chemical composition and its application to the industry.
