Coconut shell is one of the most important natural fillers produced in tropical countries like Malaysia,
Indonesia, Thailand, Sri Lanka and India. Many works have been devoted to use of other natural fillers in
composite in recent past and coconut shell filler is a potential candidate for the development of new
composites because of their high strength and modulus properties. The coconut particles also have remarkable
interest in the automotive industry owing to its hard-wearing quality and high hardness (not fragile like glass
fiber), good acoustic resistance, moth-proof, not toxic, resistant to microbial and fungi degradation, and not
easily combustible.
