Abstract Scope |
The reinsertion of waste on the production chain can be cited as one, among many other environmentally friendly solutions. This method can be responsible in a waste generated and cost reduction. Therefore, the present work main goal was to evaluate the influence of young arapaima gigas fish scales reinforcing engineered artificial stone made with rock ground obtained as a waste reinforcing epoxy matrix. As an adult the arapaima gigas, also known as “pirarucu” fish produce large hard scales to fend off predators and can represent a good sustainable source of material. The artificial stone was processed by vacuum under pressure together with vibration methodology. During the polymer curing an aligned “bed” of scales was added as reinforcement and its influence was observed by Izod impact tests. The results have shown the increase in impact resistance promoted by the scales mostly associated with changes in crack propagation |
