ABSTRACT The purpose of the project is to replace materials that take a long time to dissolve in a chemical structure such as filler, insulation and preservative; is to produce natural, long-lasting, recyclable ecological materials. There are many reasons for using coconut shell in the produced material; it is a natural hypoallergenic material, suitable for both hot and cold severe climatic conditions, provides air circulation, ignites late,it can be produced hard or flexible. It provides heat, vibration and sound insulation. Today it is 6-12 months to produce coconut fiber. It is a longer process to dry the fibers obtained and then beat them with mallets. Instead, the coconut shells left over from the fiber in the future can be combined with natural latex obtained using gelatin and glycerin after being beaten and dried. Thus, an ecological material with coating and acoustic properties can be obtained by recycling coconut shell in a short time.

(1 spoon - 60(1g)glass - 200(1ml) spoon - 10 ml)
Making Process
1-Crush the coconut on a hard surface with a hammer.
2-Continue to break until the coconut shell turns into small pieces.
3-You can dry the small pieces of crust you have obtained in the sun or in the oven.
Making Process
1- Heat 1 cup of water.
(1 glass - 200 ml) .
3-Stir the mixture quickly over high heat until it changes color. Warning: Make sure that the mixture does not boil!
2- Add 3 spoons of gelatin to the warmed water. (1 spoon - 60 g)
4- Add 2 spoons of glycerin to the mixture and continue stirring until it becomes a homogeneous consistency. Then, separate the foam formed on it from the mixture. (1 spoon - 10 ml) .
5-Transfer the pre-dried coconut shells into the container.
6-Add the mixture to hold the shells together.
Other Material Trials The first material I tried was deformations. The product did not take the shape of the container it was placed in and the material became smaller day by day. This is because; I did use natural latex much. The product was deformed because I used less of the main material, coconut shell.
First try Date:25.04.2 020 UNSUCCESSF ULL
Other Material Trials In my second material experience, I used coconut fiber instead of coconut shells. Due to the I used glycerin 1 part more in my mixture, I obtained a flexible material. Although I had not achieved the hardness of the material I I tried toI obtain two wanted, produced different from anotherproducts successful the same material. material. At this stage, I first made the coconut shells into small pieces and then dried them. The form of the material did not deform. Finally, I Second try obtained the material I Date:29.04.2 wanted, hard, heat and 020 water resistant. SUCCESSFUL
