| Abstract Scope |
The concern with the environment is continuous since the planet still suffering with the increase of world population and the climate changes do not stop, increased by uses of synthetic resources. This work has a greater focus on the characterization and analysis of green epoxy composites reinforced with eucalyptus sawdust particulate applied in different percentages in the epoxy matrix (DGEBA/DETA). The specimens were produced with 4 different formulations: 0%, 5%, 10% and 20% of eucalyptus particulate in relation to the epoxy system. The result showed that with the incorporation of eucalyptus particles there was a slight tendency to increase the mechanical properties with 5%, but for 10 and 20% the strength decreased, but remaining around 80 MPa, which makes it feasible all mixtures for use as hard polymeric composites coating in industrial applications, reducing the amount of resin, which is of non-renewable origin. |
