| Abstract Scope |
Currently, there has been a significant search for new Amazonian fibers as reinforcements compatible with polymer matrices, due to their lightness and biodegradability. This article evaluates the mechanical behavior of polyester composites with 10, 20, and 30% vol. Matamata fiber contents, manufactured by hand molding and tested through tensile, flexural, and IZOD impact. The greatest increases in properties were observed for 30%, with a specific strength of 39.08 ± 2.62 MPa.cm3/g and a specific modulus of 0.69 ± 0.03 GPa.cm3/g.and deformation of 6.90 ± 0.53%. In Flexion,resistance increased to 56.44± 2.76 MPa.cm3/g, the specific modulusand deformation were 2.55 ± 0.12GPa.cm3/g and 2.24 ± 0.17%. Under Izod impact,an increase of up to 31.76 ± 2.7 J/m was observed. ANOVA and Tukey's tests confirmed the influence of different reinforcement contents. Therefore, these results indicate the potential use of Matamata fiber in the structure of chair seats and backrests. |
