Loofah fiber is derived from the dried fruit of loofah. It was waste marial for <br /> <br /> farmers because the fruit of loofah that too old cannot be consumed because of its <br /> <br /> blands taste. So the farmers choose to dry it by letting it stand on their branches <br /> <br /> until their skin turns brown and the inside turns into fiber that cannot quickly <br /> <br /> decompose. <br /> <br /> Loofah fiber that produced from dried fruit of loofah makes loofah have economic <br /> <br /> opportunities other than any foodstuff, because loofah fiber can be utilized for <br /> <br /> various product. . <br /> <br /> This scientific work includes the physical properties of the fibers of loofah as well <br /> <br /> as the advantages and disadvantages of the fiber properties of loofah, from the <br /> <br /> properties found to be defined what potentials can be developed as materials for <br /> <br /> product design. <br /> <br /> The development of bicycle helmet products is a product that has the potential to <br /> <br /> be developed because of the issue of material from the bike helmet that is <br /> <br /> polystyrene or what we commonly call Styrofoam on the inside of a bicycle helmet. <br /> <br /> Styrofoam itself is a non-biodesradable material so it can exert a bad influence on <br /> <br /> the environment. from result of research that physical properties of loofah fiber that <br /> <br /> is silencer and hollow can work maximally on applying of bicycle helmet product.
