Abstract

The use of chopped pejibaye fibers obtained from the residues of pejibaye plantations is presented. These fibers are obtained from the leftover residues after the collection of heart of palm from pejibaye palms. PP-pejibaye composites were manufactured and the mechanical and thermal properties of the composites were compared to the properties of the unreinforced PP matrix. The results obtained show that untreated pejibaye fibers act as filler, not as reinforcement, but do not reduce the mechanical properties of the untreated polymeric matrix. The tensile properties of the composites were suitably modeled using the Turcsányi equation. Also, the incorporation of the fibers does not alter the thermal properties of the untreated matrix. Therefore, the use of this agribusiness residue can present economic advantages since the cost of composite parts can be reduced and their life cycle assessment increased by the use of this lignocellulosic residue, without altering the basic thermal and mechanical properties of the polymeric matrix.

Pejibaye纤维增强聚丙烯基复合材料

介绍了从佩吉巴叶人工林残叶中提取的佩吉巴叶碎纤维的利用情况。这些纤维是从佩吉巴耶棕榈的棕榈心收集后的剩余残留物中获得的。制备了PP-pejibaye复合材料，并将其力学性能和热性能与未增强PP基体进行了比较。结果表明，未经处理的贝吉巴耶纤维作为填料而不是增强剂，但不降低未经处理的聚合物基体的力学性能。利用Turcsányi方程对复合材料的拉伸性能进行了适当的建模。此外，纤维的掺入不会改变未经处理的基体的热性能。因此，使用这种农业企业残渣可以呈现出经济优势，因为使用这种木质纤维素残渣可以降低复合材料部件的成本，并增加其生命周期评估，而不会改变聚合物基质的基本热学和机械性能。

期刊介绍： Polymers from Renewable Resources, launched in 2010, publishes leading peer reviewed research that is focused on the development of renewable polymers and their application in the production of industrial, consumer, and medical products. The progressive decline of fossil resources, together with the ongoing increases in oil prices, has initiated an increase in the search for alternatives based on renewable resources for the production of energy. The prevalence of petroleum and carbon based chemistry for the production of organic chemical goods has generated a variety of initiatives aimed at replacing fossil sources with renewable counterparts. In particular, major efforts are being conducted in polymer science and technology to prepare macromolecular materials based on renewable resources. Also gaining momentum is the utilisation of vegetable biomass either by the separation of its components and their development or after suitable chemical modification. This journal is a valuable addition to academic, research and industrial libraries, research institutions dealing with the use of natural resources and materials science and industrial laboratories concerned with polymer science.
