In this work, three different natural fibers were studied and characterized, using optical and SEM microscopy. Woven fabrics of those reinforcement fibers were used to reinforce polyester and epoxy matrices and produce composite plates by vacum lay-up. Also, using an experimental piston blender equipment, long fiber reinforced PLA (LFT) composites were manufactured by hot compression molding. All different obta...
In this work, different natural fibres were studied and characterized, using optical and SEM microscopy. Those fibres were used to reinforce polyester and epoxy matrices and produce composite plates by hand lay-up. A vacuum bag was then used to allow improving the fibre impregnation, establishing a controlled pressure atmosphere. All different obtained composite plates were submitted to mechanical testing, in o...
Two different types of natural fibers (jute and sisal) were studied and characterized, using optical microscopy, pycnometry density, single filament and linear density tests. Jute fibers were processed into composite parts from woven fabrics raw-material and sisal fibers were also processed into final composite componentes but in the form of chopped mat. Those fibers were used to reinforce polyester and epoxy m...
