| Abstract Scope |
A growing concern about the limitation of non-renewable resources has brought a focus on the development of environmentally sustainable and biodegradable composite materials. In this context, a trend in the development of natural lignocellulosic fibers (NLFs) used as a reinforcement in composites is ever increasing. Therefore, in this work, for the first time in the literature, shows results of the sedge fibers physically characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the cristallinity index (IC) were obtained. The peaks obtained were found on 18.10° and 25.63°, respectively found for the planes of (1 1 0) and (2 0 0). Also the IC found for the sedge fibers has a value of 62.47%. Besides an evaluation of the interface adhesion of the fiber and an epoxy resin was made by the critical lenght obtained in a pullout test of 10.77 mm and a interfacial strength of 1.014 MPa. |
