| Abstract Scope |
Present society increasingly demands materials that present solutions to issues of sustainability and environmental preservation. In this way, natural materials appear as candidates for the development of sustainable compounds. This work aims to assess the thermal stability of epoxy matrix composites reinforced with Arapaima scales. The composites were prepared using 30% v/v of Arapaima scales and 70%v/v DGEBA/TETA epoxy. The samples were analyzed through DMA (Dynamic Mechanical Analysis), Thermogravimetric analysis(TGA) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). The DMA and TGA results demonstrated an improvement in the thermal properties of the composites compared to the plain resin, while the DSC results showed that the use of the scales as reinforcement does not affect the thermal stability of the resin. |
