| Abstract Scope |
The development of natural fiber composites has been a topic of interest in recent years. This has been happening due to the advantages that these fibers offer when compared to more conventional reinforcement materials. Thus, the Caranan plant (Mauritiella Armata), unknown to the literature in terms of engineering, had its fibers investigated from this work. This study presents systematic results on the structural characterization of the Caranan fiber. These natural lignocellulosic fibers (NFLs) were subjected to Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) tests and in addition, one hundred fibers were evaluated to verify diameter and density. |
