Abstract Scope |
Due to pineapple production, the amount of crown residue of this fruit is significant in Brazil. This material has been studied as reinforcement in materials especially when in fiber format. However another part of waste consists of particulates. This work aims to evaluate the technological feasibility of using these particulates as reinforcement/filler in polymer matrix composites, having as a reference their compressive strength. The matrix used was a Diglycidyl ether bisphenol A (DGEBA)/triethylene-tetramine (TETA) system, with a stoichiometric ratio of 20 phr. The formulations evaluated consist of the 0, 25, 50 and 100 percentiles of the maximum volume in which it was possible to incorporate the particulates. The test was performed using the Instron Model 5582, according to the ASTM D695-15. The results presented demonstrated the variation in the behavior of the material as a function of the amount of charge, as well as the technological feasibility of its incorporation. |
