Abstract

The paper presents a methodology of testing the mechanical properties of fibrous materials belonging to the group of natural polymers. The research methodology includes the process of aging in a controlled humidity atmosphere using a climatic chamber. The paper presents the results of the degree of compaction of the shredded coconut material and sediment post-fermentation fiber as a function of humidity. We have also studied the friction coefficient of the compacted material in depending on the influence of temperature. The results are the basis for determining the parameters of agglomeration of the tested materials. In addition results are essential to determinate effective forces of compaction which are used for the formulation of construction of machines for this purpose.
