Abstract:The carnauba, the tree of life, is a palm tree found in all regions of Brazil and has many applications, from electronics to cosmetics, with a greater emphasis on wax. The objective of this research was to obtain composites using petioles fibers from carnauba leaves and polyester resin. The powder was obtained using forage grinding and subsequent sieving, generating residues with different grain sizes. All the obtained granulometries were tested and the smaller one was chosen, due to its greater viability to o… Show more
