| Abstract Scope |
Coffee, in its liquid version, is consumed all over the world. Brazil is the second most consumed country and consequently there is an excess of waste. Therefore, the aim of this study is to analyze the compressive strength of the composite made with epoxy resin and coffee grounds for application in High Performance Coating (HPC). The compressive strength of composites for this type of application is considerable, as it determines a material's ability to withstand compressive loads. To carry out the tests, specimens were made with 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% in volume fraction of coffee grounds, cured at room temperature for 48 hours. The test was then carried out in accordance with ASTM standard 695. As a result, it was concluded that coffee waste can be used as a reinforcement in polymer composites for HPC applications. |
