Resumo: | In the present work polyester resin composites with Alfa fibers in the form of pulp were prepared and their properties were compared with those of polyester resin reinforced with glass fibers, the latter composites being widely used for structural applications. The composites were prepared using two manufacturing processes, namely hand lay-up and vacuum molding, to assess the influence of the process on the composites properties. Firstly, the tensile properties for the two composites were evaluated. The composites thermal properties were studied by differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis. Finally, the morphology of a glass fiber composite (GFC) and Alfa pulp composite (APC) was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, to characterize the composites surface and cross-sections. |
