Characterization of Composite Polymers Reinforced with Coconut Sheath Fibers
摘要
In recent yearsCharacterization, scientistsComposite have been studying materials that aim to replace synthetic fibers. Their main bets are on natural fibersNatural fibers, as they have several benefits, such as having low density and being biodegradable. This study is based on coconut sheath fibers, used as polymerPolymers reinforcement. This research was carried out using fiber, extracted from the coconut tree, and 5 test bodies were made, with 4, 5, and 6 layers. Their results indicate that the specimen made with 6 layers of coconut sheath fiber has better flexural resistance.
