Materiais compósitos de matriz poliéster reforçados com resíduos de madeira de diferentes morfologias

Abstract

This study presents the production and characterization of polyester matrix composites reinforced with residues from the Amazon timber industry. Using Angelim Pedra wood powder in different particle sizes and weight fractions (6.86% and 10.86%), the composites were evaluated for their mechanical properties through tensile tests. The results showed that smaller particles increase tensile strength, indicating that the reuse of these residues is viable and contributes to industrial sustainability.
