Abstract
The aim of this study is to examine the efficacy of the coconut fiber on the sound absorption and thermal insulation performance towards the composite nonwoven fabrics The 2D polyester fiber and 12D fire retardant threedimensional hollow crimp polyester fiber are individually mixed with 4D lowmelting point polyester fiber 4DLMf to produce 2D polyester nonwoven fabric 2DPETF and 12D polyester nonwoven fabric 12DPETF respectively Subsequently the coconut fiber CF is then laminated with the 2DPETF and 12DPETF to fabricate two types of PET/CF composite boards through the multiple needlepunching techniques Accordingly the sound absorption thermal insulation Limiting Oxygen Index and relative mechanical properties of the PET/CF composite boards are evaluated properly The experimental results reveal that both types of PET/CF composite boards possess excellent thermal insulation performance and fire resistance property Also for both types of PET/CF composite boards the average sound absorption coefficient increases with the increased amount of CF
