Production Of Corrugated Roofing Sheets From Epoxy-based Matrix Reinforced With Treated Coir Fibers

Abstract Green roofing is a relatively new approach toward constructing environmentally friendly and sustainable roofing structures. Not only are these structures environmentally friendly, but they can be manipulated for the purposes of energy harvesting, thermal insulation or cooling while saving cost in the long run. Much like the green roof approach, this project seeks to create, for an African setting, with a case study in Ghana, a less costly alternative to durable roofing options such as roofing shingles and composite tiles. Coir fibers were chemically modified at different concentration…
