| Abstract Scope |
The necessity of new materials eco-friendly create a rush to discovery good options to replace the synthetic materials used commercially in this moment. Raw materials from vegetal resources are being a good option on that way, especially the natural fibers that is usually discarded in landfills. The aim of this work is to develop a novel eco-friendly polymeric composite based in casuarina equisetifolia powder, that is an intrusive plant located along to Brazilian coast, from probably Oceania. The aim of this work is to characterize by thermally and mechanically the composites made with a common epoxy resin (DGEBA/DETA) and the casuarina seed milled, the incorporation was in volume from 5% up to 30%, made in a silicone open mold. The results show good thermal stability and satisfactory mechanical properties for engineering applications, for examples structure and piping hard coating in industry with very low cost. |
