CONCLUSIONS
The versatility and applications of coconut fibres in different fields is discussed in detail. Coconut fibres are reported as most ductile and energy absorbent material. It is concluded that coconut fibres have the potential to be used in composites for different purposes. Various aspects of many coconut fibres reinforced composites have already been investigated; and the economical and better results are achieved as reported by many researchers. Since the use of coconut fibres has given some marvellous products, there is still possibility of the invention of new products containing coconut fibres with improved results. In civil engineering, coconut fibres have been used as reinforcement in composites for non-structural components. There is a need of investigating the behaviour of coconut fibre reinforced concrete to be used in main structural components like beams and columns.
