“…7). The results showed that the peach palm fiber was thermally stable up to 280 °C, which was similar to other natural fibers (d' Almeida et al 2006;De Souza and d'Almeida 2014;Belouadah et al 2015;Porras et al 2015).…”

This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation into the mechanical behavior and microstructural characteristics of peach palm fibers. The fiber morphology was studied using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), and the results of the mechanical tests were correlated with the fiber microstructure. The specimens were submitted to direct tensile tests in a state-of-the art microforce testing system using three different gauge lengths. The cross sectional areas of the fibers were measured using SEM micrographs and image analysis. The fiber microstructural characteristics were determined via thermogravimetric analysis and X-ray diffraction. The measured Young's modulus was corrected for machine compliance. Weibull statistics were used to quantify the degree of variability in fiber strength at the different gauge lengths. The failure mechanisms were described and discussed in terms of the fiber microstructure, as well as defects in the fiber. The results showed that the fiber void content had a large influence on the fiber tensile strength and elastic modulus but the amount of main voids did not influence the fiber strength.

Tururi (Manicaria saccifera Gaertn.) is a non-woven sac, which protects the fruits of the Amazon Ubuçu palm tree.The aim of this study was to use fibers withdrawn from these sacs and from sac strips -in the natural condition and after discoloration -to determine tensile, weight and regain values; additionally, longitudinal and cross-sections were studied using optical microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was carried out. The tensile results of fibers withdrawn from the sacs were 10·5 ± 2% elongation, 18 ± 3·2 cN/tex (175 ± 31 MPa) tenacity and 3·4 ± 0·5 N/tex (33 ± 5 GPa) Young's modulus. These values, in addition to regain (12·0 ± 0·5%) and cross-microscopy, are compatible with those of other lignocellulosic fibers. The results related to the strips were 5·9 ± 1% elongation, 17·6 ± 7·8 MPa strength and 552 ± 288 MPa Young's modulus. There was no significant statistical variation between the tensile characteristics of the fibrous material in the natural condition and after discoloration. The determined weight value was 182 ± 18 g/m 2 . FTIR analysis confirmed the presence of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. Finally, considerations about sustainable extraction and technical applications (in handcrafts and composites) of tururi fibrous material were made, presenting its potential to be employed in products, such as utensils, furniture, flooring or construction.

“…La gran diferencia entre en el espesor de la pared celular y el lumen afectó de manera negativa las propiedades mecáni-cas, y significó que ocupara el cuarto lugar con respecto a la resistencia máxima entre las fibras analizadas. Las imágenes obtenidas mediante microscopia electrónica de barrido (SEM) evidenciaron características morfológicas similares entre las fibras colombianas analizadas en el presente estudio y otras reportadas en la literatura, como las de yute, sisal, curauá, coco y piassava (Alves, et al, 2013), okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) (DeRosa, et al, 2011), melcocha (Althaea officinalis L) (Sarikanat, et al, 2014), fibras de cáscara de nuez de betel (Areca catechu) (Yusriah, et al, 2014), fibra cabecinegro (Manicaria saccifera) (Porras, et al, 2016), de alcachofa (Cynara cardunculus L.) (Fiore et al, 2011), Juncus effusus L. (Maache, et al, 2017) y fibra de caña de azúcar (Hossain, et al, 2014). El análisis dela morfología, de las cinco fibras evidenció que la de guérregue y la de caña flecha presentaron paredes celulares más gruesas y lúmenes muy pequeños, lo cual incrementa el área de soporte para una óptima distribución de la carga sobre las microfibrillas de celulosa en la pared secundaria, lo cual les permite un mejor comportamiento mecánico.…”

ResumenEste estudio se enmarca en el campo de la ciencia e ingeniería de materiales enfocada al desarrollo de nuevos compuestos amigables con el medio ambiente. En este contexto, se evaluaron cinco fibras naturales colombianas: damagua (Poulsenia armata), guérregue, palma estera (Astrocaryum malybo), caña flecha (Gynerium sagitatum) e iraca (Carludovica palmata), con el fin de estudiar su viabilidad como refuerzo en materiales compuestos. Mediante diversas mediciones se determinaron las propiedades térmicas, mecánicas y morfológicas de las fibras naturales. El análisis térmico se hizo utilizando termogravimetría (TGA), y se demostró el carácter hidrofílico de las fibras y su estabilidad a elevadas temperaturas. Se ensayó la resistencia de las fibras a la tracción bajo condiciones de fuerzas axiales estáticas, y se encontraron variaciones en las propiedades mecánicas de cada uno de los especímenes. Las fibras de guérregue y caña flecha registraron valores de resistencia máxima competitivos muy similares a los reportados en otras investigaciones con fibras naturales, en tanto que las otras tres fibras tuvieron bajo desempeño. La microestructura de las fibras se examinó mediante microscopía electrónica de barrido (SEM), y las imágenes revelaron una morfología compuesta por el lumen y la pared celular con variación entre los tamaños, comportamiento éste asociado a las propiedades mecánicas de las fibras naturales estudiadas. En conclusión, dos fibras presentaron las mejores propiedades y cumplieron con las condiciones de estabilidad térmica y resistencia mecánica que las hace aptas como refuerzo en la fabricación de biocompuestos con matrices poliméricas. © 2017.

Thermal, mechanical, and morphological characterization of Colombian natural fibers as potential reinforcement for biocomposites AbstractThis study was conducted in the field of materials science and engineering and focused on the development of new eco-friendly components. For this purpose, we evaluated five Colombian natural fibers: damagua (Poulsenia armata), quérregue (Astrocaryum standleyanum), palm mat (Astrocaryum malybo), wild cane (Gynerium sagitatum) and iraca (Carludovica palmata), to evaluate their viability as reinforcement in composite materials. We measured the thermal, mechanical and morphological properties of these natural fibers by using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) for the thermal analysis, which showed their hydrophilic character and their stability at high temperatures. We also tested their resistance to traction under static axial forces and we found variations in their mechanical properties. We found that guérregue and wild cane fibers showed maximum competitive strength values, similar to those found in other studies with natural fibers, while the other three fibers had a poor performance. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to examine the microstructure of the fibers...
