13. Fire exposure behavior of epoxy reinforced with jute fiber applied to ceramic tiles for a ventilated facade system
Civil construction seeks to increase the useful life of the facades of buildings. Installing a ventilated facade is one way to accomplish this due to aesthetic and technical advantages. Ceramic tiles are the main products used as the covering. To the back face of a tile, a bidirectional screen of glass fiber is adhered using epoxy resin. This set forms a com

14. THE MULTIROLE OF MODIFIED NATURAL GUMS FOR MULTICOMPONENT POLYMERS: AS COUPLING AGENTS FOR POLYMERS REINFORCED WITH CELLULOSIC FIBERS OR COMPATIBILIZERS FOR BIODEGRADABLE POLYMER BLENDS
In this work, the capability to use pine rosin as a biodegradable coupling agent/compatibilizer is studied. To formulate composites, post-consumer polypropylene and discarded agave fibers (as reinforcing agent) are coupled with pine rosin (in pure or maleated form). Besides, poly(lactic acid) (PLA) with poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) are comp

15. Analysis of Failure Criteria in Laminas Reinforced with Unidirectional Curaua Fiber Fabric
Natural fibers are increasingly used as composite reinforcement in different fields of engineering. Caraua fiber stands out for its good mechanical properties and adherence to resin; however, little is known about its behavior in the manufacture of a composite or whether classic failure theory applies in this case. The present study assesses the mechanical p

16. Natural ageing of polyaramide fiber from ballistic armor
Abstract Ballistic armor has been manufactured primarily based on polyaramide (Kevlar and Twaron) or Dyneema but the lifespan warranty in Brazil is only 5 years and after this time period they are incinerated or comminuted and ground up. This study aims to evaluate the changes on the physical, mechanical and morphological properties of polyaramide fibers of

17. Effect of topical ozonetherapy on gingival wound healing in pigs: histological and immuno-histochemical analysis
Abstract In this study, the effects of ozonetherapy on secondary wound healing were evaluated histologically and immuno-histochemically. Material and Methods: 8 healthy pigs were used in this study. Six wounds with 10 mm in diameter were created through the punch technique on the palatinal gingiva of each pig. Ozone gas was applied on only 3 wounds (test gro

18. Weibull analysis of tensile tested piassava fibers with different diameters
ABSTRACT Environmental considerations in addition to technical, economical and societal benefits are increasingly promoting the substitution of natural fibers for glass fiber in polymer matrix composites. However, natural fibers are heterogeneous in their dimensions, specially the cross section, which plays an important role in their mechanical strength. It

19. Izod impact energy study of re-forced polisher matrix compounds with curaous fibers aligned and epoxy matrix reinforced with piassava fibers
ABSTRACT Polymer matrix composites have been applied in components such as helmets and shielding for which toughness is a major requirement. Natural fiber presents interfacial characteristics with polymeric matrices that favor a high impact energy absorption by the composite structure. The objective of this work was then to assess the Izod impact resistance

20. Evaluation of dermal collagen stained with picrosirius red and examined under polarized light microscopy
Abstract: The special picrosirius red staining highlights the natural birefringence of collagen fibers when exposed to polarized light. The results from birefringence allow to evaluate the organization of the collagen fibers in the tissues. The authors intend to elucidate all steps to obtain and capture images of histological sections stained with picrosiriu

21. The Quasi-static and Dynamic Mechanical Behavior of Epoxy Matrix Composites Reinforced with Curaua Fibers
The research of natural fiber composites is growing due to the fact that the green materials combine low weight with good mechanical properties. Curaua fiber arises as a competitive natural fiber due to its abundance, low cost and a variety of applications. In this work, different weight fractions of Curaua fiber were used in order to obtain this natural com

22. Interfacial Shear Stress with Pull-out Test at Zeolite Ceramic Matrix and SS316 Single Fiber
ABSTRACT Natural zeolite ceramic is a material that can be used as bioceramics but it is fragile to crack. The weakness of ceramics can be overcome by making ceramic metals. The use of SS316 (stainless steel 316) fiber to strengthen the zeolite ceramic had been done in order to determine the interfacial relationship by using a fiber pull-out test. The conten

23. Ballistic Efficiency of Multilayered Armor Systems with Sisal Fiber Polyester Composites
The urban violence and the different types of global armed conflicts demand efficient protective systems against high energy ammunition. Multilayered Armor Systems (MAS) provide efficient protection by making use of lighter and more efficient materials. A typical MAS may be composed of three layers: a front ceramic followed by a composite, backed by a ductil

24. The Influence of Bleached Jute Fiber Filler on the Properties of Vulcanized Natural Rubber
There is growing interest in replacing the synthetic reinforcements used for natural rubber (NR) composites with natural fibers from renewable, environmentally sustainable sources. Jute fibers may be suitable reinforcements for NR because they have a high tensile strength, which is comparable to other fillers such as glass fibers. Thus, we studied the incorp
