3.1. Quality Function Deployment (QFD)
- Resistant;
- Nontoxic;
- Low cost;
- Lightweight;
- Good design;
- Reliable;
- Normative;
- Functional;
- Rapid degradation;
- Nonpolluting;
- Manufacturable;
- Recyclable;
- Easy to purchase (acquire).
- Parameter 14: Strength or resistance,
- Parameter 16: Durability of the immobile object, and
- Parameter 26: Quantity of substance.
- Principle 1: segmentation. It is presented based on the mentioned materials since the materials are arranged separately and mixed in different proportions.
- Principle 35: change of parameters (physical states). After preparing the first mixture of coconut fiber (11.11%), TPS–EVOH (55.56%), and SBR (33.33%), it was observed that the homogeneity of the mixture was not as desired (see Figure 3); therefore, Principle 35 was applied to change the physical state of the coconut fiber. For this, the coconut fiber was ground in a conventional mill and sieved to obtain fiber microparticles and, thus, improve this factor.
- Principle 37: thermal expansion. Preliminary mixtures were prepared under the principle of thermal expansion of the TRIZ methodology to observe the behavior and properties at different temperatures. In studies [20,22,25], temperatures of 185, 170, 160, and 150 °C were used to make mixtures; for this study, temperatures of 100, 150, and 170 °C were used.
