  • Abstract:
  • The increasing demand for sustainable and durable household products has driven research into eco-friendly alternatives for everyday items. This project focuses on the development and testing of table coasters made from bamboo fabric, jute fabric, and rubber fabric. The primary objective is to evaluate these materials based on key performance parameters, including water absorption, heat resistance, durability, and aesthetic appeal. To achieve this, coasters were fabricated using standardized processes, ensuring consistency in size, thickness, and finish. Various laboratory tests were conducted to assess their functional efficiency. Water absorption tests determined the ability of each material to prevent liquid seepage and protect table surfaces. Heat resistance analysis evaluated their capacity to withstand high temperatures without deformation or damage. Durability testing involved repeated use simulations to measure wear and tear over time. Additionally, friction tests were performed to assess the grip strength of each material, ensuring the coasters remain stable on different surfaces. The experimental results provide a comparative analysis of the three materials, highlighting their strengths and limitations. Bamboo fabric exhibited superior moisture absorption and aesthetic appeal, making it a viable option for decorative coasters. Jute fabric, known for its natural texture and biodegradability, performed well in durability but showed moderate water resistance. Rubber fabric excelled in heat resistance and grip but had limitations in aesthetic variety. Overall, this study offers valuable insights into the selection of sustainable materials for table coasters, promoting eco-friendly choices in household products. The findings contribute to the growing body of research on biodegradable and reusable materials, paving the way for innovative and sustainable product development.
