Description
In Portugal northeast, one of most valuable forest products for human consumption are chestnuts. The chestnut hedgehog is left on the ground where it will be incorporated into the soil over time. This way, one form to add some value to chestnut industry is trying to profit from chestnut wastes. The use of natural fibers as reinforcement in polymer matrix composites is gaining popularity in the development of renewable products (Rocha e Queijo 2013). Due to their unusual appearance and translucency to light, composites with thorns from chestnut hedgehog may have not negligible commercial value.
