| Abstract Scope |
The study regarding the use of waste in composite materials has grown, and the pineapple crown fibers are an example. However, the processing of these fibers generates another solid residue in the form of particulates. This work evaluates the influence of the incorporation of this residue in polymeric matrix composites on impact resistance. The matrix used was a DGEBA/TETA system, with a stoichiometric ratio equal to 20 phr. Using as a reference the maximum amount of particulates in which it was possible to incorporate, formulations varring from 0 up to 100 vol% were evaluated. The impact test performed was of the Izod type, which was carried out using a PANTEC Pendulum impact testing machine, model XC-50, according to the ASTM D256-10. Through these results, it was possible to observe the influence of the incorporation of these particulates in the impact resistance of the composites. |
