| Shrnutí: | Environmental issues have raised discussions among several social agents such as
activists, ambietalists, politicians, scientists, professors and both private and public
institutions. Within this scope, this paper aims to develop and carachterize an Orthophthalic
Polyester resin matrix composite with reinforcing / filling load of vegetable fiber of the
species Agave Angustifolia Haw in the proportion of 5%, 7.5% and 10% in mass comparing
to the matrix. Agave fiber blankets were made for three formulations and, to obtain the
composite, the cold pressing process was used. The agave blankets, intercalated with the resin,
were placed in the template with 90° lagged orientations between them and weighing 5g each.
The test specimens of the composite formulations were fabricated in a closed mould, based on
specific standards and subjected to mechanical, thermal, physical and chemical test cycles.
The tensile strength, flexural strength, impact, thermophysical properties, density, freshwater
and saltwater absorption, and chemical composition are determined by X-Ray Fluorescence
Spectrometry (FRX). The feasibility of obtaining the composite was tested for all formulations
studied. The mechanically most viable formulation was the one composed by 10% Agave
Angustifolia Haw fiber. All the formulations had higher tensile and impact strength than the
matrix resin, leading to a reinforcing load function of the Agave fiber used. The fibers
behaved as fillers when all of their formulations presented mechanical strength at lower
flexion than the matrix resin. |
