| Abstract Scope |
The thermal analysis of a composite is an extremely important characterization since it reveals information about changes that heating can cause in the mass of substances. This study presents results on the thermal behavior of a composite reinforced with natural lignocellulosic fiber (CNFL). For the research the equipment used was a TGA (Shimadzu model DTG-60H). The analyzes concluded that the maximum working temperature is approximately 200ºC due to the decomposition of the components of the natural lignocellulosic fiber (NFL), temperatures close to 50° C there is a dehydration reaction (loss of moisture) and a greater loss of mass (Tonset) increases with volume. |
