Composite Materials of Epoxy Matrix Reinforced with Natural Fiber: Pre-preg and Lamina 2007-01-2955

This work presents a study about the production of composites of matrix polymeric reinforced with natural fibers incorporate through pré-pregs and sheets. The studied fibers were curauá, sisal, côco, palha da costa and a woven composed of mallow fibers and jute. The fibers were rehearsed in traction uniaxial and your certain resistance. The pré-pregs were manufactured by pulverization of the polymeric on the fibers that were previously arrested and aligned; the sheets were already produced being drained the resin on the fibers. Composites were manufactured reinforced with the sisal fibers, woven mallow-jute and a composition hybrid sisal/woven mallow-jute and rehearsed by bending in three points. For visual inspection it was verified that the pré-pregs were shown more suitable for the composition of composites.
