Obtención experimental de un material biocompuesto a base de una matriz polimérica y reforzada con fibras naturales de guadúa angustifolia proveniente del Ecuador

Abstract

This paper's main objective is to obtain a compound generated a polymer matrix reinforced with natural fibers of Guadua Angustifolia Kunth in which was performed with an initial process of the field study in composites reinforced with natural fibers and then generate the obtaining short fibers being reinforcing the compound. The next step was the testing of various forming processes such as: hot pressing, extrusion and pelletizing manual injection, calendering and finally manual injection and extrusion pelletizing and automatic injection in order to obtain the best properties. To complete the work was done an analysis and comparison of results and applications built with these products.
