Abstract Scope |
Searching for high-resistance, low cost and low environmental impact materials has been one of the focuses of material engineering since its foundation. As a solution for that problem, natural sedge fibers might be a good reinforcement compound for polymeric matrices, while being sustainable and easy to obtain. To the scientific community, there is the work of listing and testing different sedge fibers, while taking notes on its properties. In this paper, Cyperus malaccensis fibers were tested as epoxy matrix reinforcement, in volume percentages of 0, 10, 20 and 30% . Using the DMA method, data on storage modulus and loss modulus as a function of temperature from the 4 samples of composite was collected. It was possible to make inferences about the elastic and fluid behaviors of the composites and it was concluded that the Cyperus malaccensis fibers do not act as a reinforcement. |
