Estudo de um compósito com fibra de farelo de cevada numa matriz polimérica

Abstract

In this work will be approached the study of the behavior of a composite material with composition of barley bran as fiber and using white glue or resin as matrix. This material undergoes a series of tests such as bending, density, water absorption and swelling tests. Thus its properties, such as mechanical strength, density and water absorption, can be analyzed, and then it can be compared with other existing materials of the same class. With the results it was possible to analyze that the test bodies generated superior results to the test bodies that used white glue, but when comparing to the cost of each binder this superiority in the results are not compensated. And with the use of a renewable fiber, generate a more sustainable material thinking about the environment.
