| Abstract Scope |
Research on composites reinforced with natural fibers is increasing, since it is possible to identify a series of benefits in natural lignocellulosic fibers (FNLs) such as: low abrasiveness, low price, low density and high resistant especific strength. These properties combined with their biodegradability raise interest in the production of composites reinforced with natural fibers (CFNLs). Therefore, in this work, the tensile properties of composites reinforced with Caranan fiber were investigated, according to the technical standard ASTM D3039. For the first time in the literature, results were obtained on the strength limit (MPa), elastic modulus (GPa) and average deformation (%) of this fiber added to a polymeric resin. The study concluded that the fibers with 20% and 30% v/v are applied as reinforcement, while 10% v / v work as a filler. |
