As fibras vegetais como refor?o para matrizes polim?ricas, tem sido uma alternativa para substituir fibras sint?ticas, por serem biodegrad?veis e de baixo custo. Este trabalho objetiva desenvolver um material comp?sito de resina ep?xi refor?ado com fibra de curau? e aditivo retardante de chama de alumina trihidratada (hidr?xido de alum?nio - Al(OH)3), que foi utilizado em propor??es de 10%, 20% e 30% do volume total do comp?sito. As fibras de curau? passaram por um processo de limpeza com um banho alcalino de hidr?xido de s?dio (NaOH), paralelizadas atrav?s de cardagem manual e cortadas de acordo com o comprimento predefinido. Foram moldados comp?sitos com fibras de 30cm e com fra??o volum?trica de 20% de fibra no Lossy Mould. Os comp?sitos foram preparados no Laborat?rio de Engenharia T?xtil da UFRN. Os testes de resist?ncia ao fogo foram realizados no laborat?rio de engenharia de materiais da UFRN. Para medir o desempenho do material, foram realizados ensaios de resist?ncia ? tra??o e flex?o, com as amostras que foram posteriormente analisadas no aparelho de Microscopia Eletr?nico de Varredura (MEV). Os comp?sitos apresentaram bom desempenho mec?nico, e foi observado que a adi??o do agente retardante de chama influenciou nas propriedades mec?nicas, e em alguns casos, deixando o comp?sito mais fr?geis a ruptura. Esses resultados mec?nicos foram submetidos ao teste estat?stico Qui-Quadrado ao n?vel de signific?ncia de 5% para verificar poss?veis diferen?as entre ao grupos de comp?sitos. O teste de flamabilidade foi realizado baseado na norma Underwriter's Laboratory 94 e o material apresentou um resultado satisfat?rio, tendo a sua taxa m?dia de queima (mm/min) diminuindo com o aumento da adi??o do retardante de chamas nos comp?sitos. / Currently, there is a great search for materials derived from renewable sources. The vegetable fibers as reinforcement for polymer matrixes, has been used as an alternative to replace synthetic fibres, being biodegradable and of low cost. The present work aims to develop a composite material with epoxy resin reinforced with curau? fibre with the addition of alumina trihydrate (aluminum hydroxide, Al(OH)3) as a flame retardant, which was used in proportions of 10 %, 20% and 30% of the total volume of the composite. The curau? fibers have gone through a cleaning process with an alkaline bath of sodium hydroxide (NaOH ), parallelized by hand and cut carding according to the default length . They were molded composites with fibers 30cm. Composites were molded in a Lossy Mold with unidirectional fibres in the proportion of 20% of the total volume of the composite. The composites were prepared in the Chemical Processing Laboratory of the Textile Engineering Department at UFRN. To measure the performance of the material, tests for the resistance to traction and flexion were carried out. with samples that were later analyzed in the Electronic Microscopy Apparatus (SEM ). The composites showed good mechanical properties by the addition of flame retardant and in some cases, leaving the composite more vulnerable to breakage. These mechanical results were analyzed by chi-square statistical test at the 5% significance level to check for possible differences between the composite groups. Flammability testing was conducted based on the standard Underwriters Laboratory 94 and the material showed a satisfactory result taking their average burn rate (mm / min) decreasing with increasing addition of the flame retardant composite.

In particular, the lignocellulosic fibers extracted from the sisal leaves, used in conjunction with the epoxy resin has attracted the attention of many researchers because the final properties of the system formed. In this work composites based on epoxy resin reinforced with sisal fibers were manufactured. The sisal fibres were treated with an alkaline solution of 0.06 mol/l NaOH. The treated, and untreated fibres were subjected to tension x extension tests. The composites were manufactured in the "Lossy" mold with the specifications of the samples to be produced (300x20x4 mm). The tension tests were carried out in accordance with the ASTM standards 3039 (for the composite aligned in a single direction) and ASTM D5573 (for composites in overlay), three point bending tests were performed according to ASTM D790. Analyzing the results of the tests of tension and three point bending tests, it was observed that the composites with the configuration of overlapping had the better elastic module in both tests. As to the maximum resistance to tension, the best result was the composites aligned in a single direction. Tests of absorption of water and micrographs are in progress / Os comp?sitos fabricados com fibras longas alinhadas unidirecionalmente e em sobreposi??o tem demonstrado que possuem melhor desempenho do que as fibras cortadas aleatoriamente distribu?das. Em especial, as fibras lignocelul?sicas extra?das do sisal, utilizadas em conjunto com a resina ep?xi tem atra?do a aten??o de muitos pesquisadores devido ?s propriedades finais do sistema formado. No presente trabalho foram fabricados comp?sitos ? base de resina ep?xi refor?ado com fibras de sisal. As fibras de sisal foram submetidas ao tratamento alcalino com NaOH a 0,06 mol/l, em seguida submetidas ao ensaio de tra??o na fibra tratada e n?o tratada. Os comp?sitos foram fabricados no molde denominado de Lossy (molde com perdas) usinado de acordo com as especifica??es das amostras a serem produzidas (300x20x4 mm). Os ensaios de tra??o foram realizados de acordo com as normas ASTM 3039 (Para os comp?sitos alinhados unidirecionalmente) e ASTM D5573 (Para os comp?sitos em sobreposi??o), os ensaios de flex?o em tr?s pontos foram realizados de acordo com as normas ASTM D 790. Analisando os resultados dos ensaios de tra??o e flex?o em tr?s pontos, foram observados que os comp?sitos com a configura??o de sobreposi??o teve melhor m?dulo de elasticidade em ambos os ensaios. Quanto a resist?ncia m?xima a tra??o o melhor resultado foi do comp?sito alinhado unidirecionalmente. No ensaio de absor??o de ?gua foi observado que os comp?sitos possuem um n?vel muito baixo de absor??o e o comp?sito alinhado unidirecionalmente obteve percentual de satura??o de 1,97 %. Nas micrografias, se observa as regi?es de ruptura/trincas do comp?sito e seu comportamento (fibra/matriz)
