Abstract

CUELLAR, ALNEIRA  and  MUNOZ, ISMAEL. BAMBOO FIBER REINFORCEMENT FOR POLYMER MATRIX. Dyna rev.fac.nac.minas [online]. 2010, vol.77, n.162, pp.137-142. ISSN 0012-7353.

It was studied the effect that has the fiber of Guadua angustifolia Kunth with and without chemical treatment, it was used a solution of hydroxide of sodium at 5 and 10% about the mechanical properties of a matrix polymeric reinforced with 10 and 20% fiber in weight. Compression, flexion and impact test were used, giving an increase as a result in the mechanical resistance in the compression test and impact, in the samples with presence of 10% of fiber modified with a solution of hydroxide of sodium to 5%, regarding the resin without reinforcement.

Keywords : Guadua angustifolia Kunth; composites; mechanical properties; chemical treatment.
