The effect of the filler content and size, as well as accelerated aging on the mechanical properties of polypropylene composites reinforced with woodflour (WF/PP) were evaluated. The composites were prepared by the extrusion ...

Composite materials formulated with a natural polyphenolic matrix (commercial tannin adhesive made from quebracho tannin extract), pine woodflour as reinforcing material, and hexamethylenetetramine as hardener were prepared ...

Composites made from an unsaturated polyester/styrene thermoset matrix and esterified woodflour have been prepared and tested. Different degrees of esterification of the wood particles with maleic anhydride were obtained ...

Composites made from a stryrene/unsaturated polyester thermoset matrix and woodflours from different wood species have been prepared and tested. Pine (Pino Eliottis), eucaliptus (Eucaliptus Saligna) and marmelero (Ruprechia ...

The aim of this work has been to develop new composites using filler and resins obtained from renewable resources, combining low cost and good mechanical properties. The raw materials selected for the polymeric matrix were ...

Sisal fibers were added to wood particle composites to enhance their toughness. The selected matrix was a commercial styrene diluted unsaturated polyester thermoset resin. Fracture tests were carried out using single-edge ...

En la presente investigación se muestra cómo fue posible de¬sarrollar un nuevo material compuesto usando fibras naturales de fique (en disposición de manta) como refuerzo de una matriz ter-moplástica reciclada (polietile ...

Se presentan los resultados del proyecto “Diseño preliminar de una estructura eco-amigable para ser ubicada en las zonas verdes de la Universidad Libre Seccional Socorro” que tuvo como propósito diseñar una construcción ...
