Estudo da Influência da Umidade e Salinidade em Material Compósito de Matriz Polimérica

Abstract

This study examines the mechanical properties of polyester matrix composites reinforced with macaranduba wood powder and the effects of exposure to adverse environmental conditions, such as humidity and salinity. The results indicate that aging in water and saline water significantly reduces the impact resistance of the material due to degradation at the matrix-reinforcement interface.
