Abstract Scope |
In this study, the thermal behavior of the epoxy composite reinforced with fibers from pineapple leaves (PALF) was investigated. The specimens were qualified by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) in volumetric fractions of 10, 20 and 30%, in addition to measurements of degradation and decomposition. Samples were scanned from room temperature to 600 °C with a heating rate of 10 °C/min and continuous flow of nitrogen (N) at 100 mL/min. The thermal stability of PALF and composites was confirmed through the benefits of the TGA analysis. These results found for PALF were also compared with those of other studies of different natural fibers and PALF, which confirmed that they corroborate with the reinforcement in polymer composite. |
