Abstract Scope |
The need for a greener technology to help the environment and boost studies for engineering started to make those eco-conscious raw materials keeps being explored and studied as alternative solutions to synthetic materials that has being used today. The aim of this work is to develop and compare a novel ecofriendly polymeric composite based in casuarina equisetifolia powder, and its results in compressive strength tests. This plant and its seeds has an intrusive growth and it´s located along to Brazilian coast, from probably Oceania. The composites will be make 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 satisfactory mechanical properties for engineering applications, for examples structure and piping hard coating in industry with very low cost |
