| Abstract Scope |
The use of natural materials, in order to minimize environmental problems, has become quite common in recent years and is a major concern of the scientific community. The new model of economic development aims to improve the quality of life of future generations, incorporating less polluting production methods. The use of lignocellulosic fibers as substitutes for several synthetic reinforcements in polymeric composites has shown great potential for technological application, based on significant advantages. The applicability and potential of composites manufactured with natural fiber reinforcement are related to the nation economy. In particular, the applicability designated in this article is ballistic panels in which reliability, weight and cost reduction, and material sources are critical points for evaluation. Therefore, the objective of the present work was to evaluate the Izod impact strength of the epoxy matrix composite reinforced with 40 vol% of fique fabric natural aged for 2,160 hours. |
