“…The relatively high dispersion of values, given by the error bars associated with the higher fiber percentage points in Fig. 5 is a well known non-uniform characteristic of the lignocellulosic fibers [2]. The values shown in this figure are consistent with results reported in the literature.…”

ResumoNos últimos anos, especialmente fibras naturais extraídos de plantas lignocelulósico, ganharam atenção devido ao seu desempenho como engenharia de reforço compósito polímero. Por exemplo, as fibras lignocelulósicas extraídos a partir das folhas da planta curauá (Ananas acutifolius) exibir um potencial de reforço devido à sua relativamente alta resistência. As fibras, entre 0 a 30% em volume de, foram misturados com resina de poliéster sob pressão num molde metálico, e curada à temperatura ambiente durante 24 horas. Este trabalho procura avaliar a resistência ao impacto deste tipo de matriz de epóxi fibra de reforço. A resistência ao impacto aumentado substancialmente com a quantidade relativa de fibras de curauá reforço do compósito. Este desempenho foi associada com a resistência imposta pelas fibras e o comportamento de propagação da fissura Palavras-chave: Fibras de curaua; Ensaio de impacto izod; Matriz epoxy. ENSAIO IMPACTO IZOD COMPARATIVO ENTRE COMPÓSITOS EPOXY REFORÇADO COM FIBRAS DE CURAUÁ E FIBRA DE VIDRO AbstractIn recent years natural fibers, especially lignocellulosic extracted from plants, have gained attention owing to their engineering performance as polymer composite reinforcement. For instance, the lignocellulosic fibers extracted from the leaves of the curaua plant (Ananas erectifolius) display a reinforcement potential owing to their relatively high strength. The fibers, between 0 to 30% in volume, were mixed with polyester resin under pressure in a metallic mold, and cured at room temperature for 24 hours. This work attempts to evaluate the impact resistance of this type of fiber reinforcing epoxy matrix. The impact resistance increased substantially with the relative amount of curaua fiber reinforcing the composite. This performance was associated with the resistance imposed by the fibers and the crack propagation behavior.

“…A number of investigations have been conducted on several types of natural fibers such as kenaf, hemp, flax, bamboo and jute to study the effect of these fibers on the mechanical properties of composite materials [4,5]. It was studied bamboo-mesh reinforced cement composites, this reinforcing material increase significantly its tensile, flexural, and impact strengths.…”

Natural coir fibers, subjectd to thermal treatments in the range of 0 o C to 200 o C and alkali treatment with 5% to 30% concentration w/w, have been used in the present investigation to determine the interlayer variability of the cellulose planes (020), (110) and (110). Among the equatorial reflections (110), (110) and (020), the extent of variability is found to be more with the proportion of such affected planes less for (020) reflection in the native cellulose at lower temperature while at higher temperature (110) and (110) become more affected by variability defect. (110) and (1 10) planes are more affected also with alkali treatment.
