| Abstract Scope |
Natural fiber reinforced polymer composites are increasingly gaining space among materials with potential for engineering applications. In addition, graphene-based nanocomposites have also received notoriety due to their versatility, scalability and optimization of properties. In this sense, high density polyethylene matrix composites reinforced with graphene nanoplates (GNP) and 40 vol% jute fabric (Corchorus capsularis) were produced. From this, tensile and bending tests of the nanocomposites were carried out, to evaluate the effect that the variation of the percentage of GNP in the composite matrix. For the obtained results, it was observed a tendency of optimization of the properties, as much of bending as of traction while the amount of GNP was increased. |
