Prototipo de material compuesto de matriz polimérica reforzada con fibras de CAJANUS CAJAN: diseño, caracterización y aplicación industrial

Abstract

The objective of this research was to develop a prototype material composed of a low-density polyethylene matrix and vegetable fibers from the green cajeta of the pigeon pea Cajanus Cajan. The plant fiber was subjected to chemical and mechanical treatments to obtain dry particles of 3-4mm in length, which were then mixed with the polymeric matrix to obtain three compounds with different fiber-polymer ratios.
