For the fabrication of the composite, the sisal fibers were subjected to processes such as: chemical treatment with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) in the removal of impurities; bleaching for removing the yellowish color of the natural fiber and dyeing with direct dyes to confer the colors blue, green and orange. The search for new technologies ecologically correct has become a major concern in recent decades. Studies show that composite polymer reinforced by natural fibers is suitable for a large number of applications, and its use is advantageous in terms of economic and ecological. The dyed fibers were cut to a length of 30 mm, is used in the confection of webs. For this purpose, a web preparer by immersion, developed in the Laboratory of Chemical Textile of UFRN. The composite sheets measuring 300 x 300 x3 mm were molded by compression, with unsaturated orthophthalic polyester as matrix, and the samples in sizes 150 x 25 x 3 mm were cut with the aid of a laser machine, to be subjected to traction and flexion. The mechanical properties of traction and flexion in three points were performed in the Laboratory of metal and mechanical tests of Materials Engineering of UFRN. The resulting samples from the tests were evaluated in scanning electron microscope (SEM) at CTGas RN. On the basis of the analysis of the results from the mechanical tests, it was observed that the composite had good mechanical behavior, both in traction as in flexion. Furthermore, it was observed that in the water absorption test, the samples had a different percentage among themselves, this occurred due to the variation of density found in the fibre webs. The images of the SEM showed the failures from the manufacturing process and the adhesion of fibre/matrix. When the samples were prepared with the dyed fibers to be applied in fashion, the results were positive, and it can be concluded that the main objective of this work was achieved / A busca por novas tecnologias ecologicamente corretas tem se tornado uma grande preocupa??o nas ?ltimas d?cadas.

Were studied fiber characteristics, mechanical properties of the composites, water absorption and scanning electron microscopy. Initially, the fibers were treated with solution of sodium hydroxide of 0.05 mols, and then taken to matting preparing at the textile engineering laboratory - UFRN. The composites were made by compression molding, using an orthophthalic polyester resin as matrix and 1% MEK (methyl ethyl ketone peroxide) as initiator (catalyst). To evaluate the mechanical tests (tensile and flexural) and water absorption were made twelve specimens with dimensions 150x25x3 mm were cut randomly. According to the standard method, tensile tests (ASTM 3039) bending tests (ASTM D790) were performed at the mechanical testing of metals at laboratory UFRN. The results of these tests showed that the composite reinforced with 30% had a better behavior when exposed to tension charge; while on the three points bending test showed that the composite reinforced with 10% had a better behavior. In the water absorption test it was possible to see that the highest absorption happened on the composite reinforced with 30%.

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.

Fiberglass pipes must meet performance requirements and industrial sand is frequently added for the pipe to be cost competitive. The sand is added to increase pipe wall thickness, thus increase pipe stiffness. The main goal of the present work is to conduct an experimental investigation between pipes fabricated with and without de addition of sand, to be used in the petroleum industry. Pipes were built using E-glass fibers, polyester resin and siliceous sand. The fabrication process used hand lay up and filament winding and was divided in two different parts: the liner and the structural wall. All tested pipes had the same liner, but different structural wall composition, which is the layer where siliceous sand may be added or not. The comparative investigation was developed considering the results of longitudinal tensile tests, hoop tensile tests, hydrostatic pressure leak tests and parallel-plate loading stiffness tests. SEM was used to analyze if the sand caused any damage to the glass fibers, during the fabrication process, because of the fiber-sand contact. The procedure was also used to verify the composite conditions after the hydrostatic pressure leak test. The results proved that the addition of siliceous sand reduced the leak pressure in about 17 %. In the other hand, this loss in pressure was compensated by a stiffness increment of more than 380 %. MEV analyses show that it is possible to find damage on the fiber-sand contact, but on a very small amount. On most cases, the contact occurs without damage evidences. In summary, the addition of sand filler represented a 27.8 % of cost reduction, when compared to a pipe designed with glass fiber and resin only. This cost reduction combined to the good mechanical tests results make siliceous sand filler suitable for fiberglass pressure pipes / Cargas de adi??o s?o utilizadas com freq??ncia, em materiais comp?sitos, para atingir propriedades mec?nicas requeridas por normas e para redu??o de custos. As tubula??es em pl?stico refor?ado com fibras de vidro (PRFV), utilizadas para aplica??es com altas press?es, devem atender a requisitos m?nimos de projeto estabelecidos em normas. Para tanto, a areia vem sendo utilizada como carga de adi??o, no sentido de manter os tubos em PRFV competitivos no mercado. A areia ? adicionada para aumentar a espessura da parede, aumentando com isso a rigidez. Este trabalho teve como principal objetivo analisar a influ?ncia da areia nas propriedades mec?nicas de tubula??es de PRFV, visando sua aplica??o na ind?stria do petr?leo e do g?s, atrav?s de ensaios comparativos entre tubos com e sem a adi??o de areia. Os tubos foram fabricados com fibras de vidro tipo E na forma de fios cont?nuos e manta, resina poli?ster ortoft?lica e areia quartzosa. A fabrica??o foi realizada em duas etapas distintas, sendo a primeira camada do tubo denominada de barreira qu?mica (processo de lamina??o manual) e a segunda camada denominada estrutura (fabricada pelo processo de filamento cont?nuo). A areia ? adicionada no tubo juntamente com as camadas de filamento cont?nuo e, portanto, ? um constituinte da estrutura do tubo. A an?lise comparativa foi conduzida atrav?s de ensaios de tra??o axial e ircunferencial, press?o hidrost?tica e rigidez, al?m de an?lises com microsc?pio eletr?nico de varredura (MEV). Foram avaliadas as for?as resultantes de ruptura e o m?dulo de elasticidade circunferencial, al?m da rigidez. As an?lises com MEV foram conduzidas para verificar a presen?a de danos causados as fibras, durante o processo de fabrica??o, e para verificar as condi??es do laminado ap?s os ensaios de press?o hidrost?tica. Os resultados mostraram que a adi??o de areia causou uma redu??o na press?o de ruptura do tubo de 17 %. Por?m esta perda foi compensada pelo grande acr?scimo na rigidez que foi da ordem de 380 % . As an?lises no MEV mostraram que ocorrem danos durante o processo de fabrica??o, mas em quantidades muito pequenas. Na maioria dos casos o contato areia/fibras ocorre sem evid?ncias de danos. Em resumo, a areia representa uma redu??o de 27,8 % no custo final do tubo, que somado aos bons resultados obtidos nos ensaios mec?nicos, faz deste material uma excelente op??o de carga de adi??o para tubula??es de PRFV utilizadas com altas press?es

The test specimens of the composite formulations were fabricated in a closed mould, based on specific standards and subjected to mechanical, thermal, physical and chemical test cycles. The tensile strength, flexural strength, impact, thermophysical properties, density, freshwater and saltwater absorption, and chemical composition are determined by X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (FRX). The feasibility of obtaining the composite was tested for all formulations studied. The mechanically most viable formulation was the one composed by 10% Agave Angustifolia Haw fiber. All the formulations had higher tensile and impact strength than the matrix resin, leading to a reinforcing load function of the Agave fiber used. The fibers behaved as fillers when all of their formulations presented mechanical strength at lower flexion than the matrix resin.

A adi??o de termopl?sticos ? matriz termofixa produzindo resinas repar?veis aparece como t?cnica de reparo promissora. Neste trabalho, o termopl?stico poli (etileno-co-?cido-metacr?lico) (EMAA) foi adicionado no plano m?dio de laminados comp?sitos carbono-ep?xi para fabrica??o de um sistema de reparo. Foram fabricadas placas com 5%, 10% e 15% de EMAA em massa de resina do prepreg. Ensaios de resist?ncia ao cisalhamento interlaminar (ILSS), an?lise din?mico mec?nica (DMA), espectroscopia de infravermelho por transformada de Fourier (FTIR), microscopia eletr?nica de varredura (MEV) e microscopia eletr?nica de varredura com fonte de emiss?o de campo (MEV-FEG) foram conduzidos para avaliar o efeito da adi??o desse termopl?stico ao comp?sito e seu comportamento antes e ap?s o reparo. As amostras reparadas n?o apresentaram aumento na resist?ncia ao cisalhamento interlaminar (ILSS) ap?s o reparo. Entretanto, para maiores porcentagens de EMAA, houve redu??o dessa propriedade, al?m de redu??o de m?dulo de elasticidade e da temperatura de transi??o v?trea (Tg), em rela??o aos valores apresentados pelo comp?sito puro. Imagens de MEV confirmaram a forte ades?o entre o EMAA e a resina ep?xi, formando uma camada adesiva que impediu a forma??o de delamina??es no plano m?dio do laminado. / Self-healing techniques in epoxy resins have been developed to improve the durability and reduce costs associated with repairs of these materials during service. The addition of thermoplastics into the thermoset matrix producing mendable resins appears as a promising self-healing technique. In this study, poly(ethylene-co-methacrylic acid) (EMAA) was added in the mid-plane of carbon fiber-epoxy composites laminates to produce a self-healing system. Plates were manufactured with addition of 5%, 10% and 15% of EMAA as related to the resin weight of prepreg. Interlaminar shear strength test (ILSS), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and field-emission gun scanning electron microcopy (FEG-SEM) were employed in order to evaluate the effect of the addition of the thermoplastic to the composite and its behavior before and after a healing cycle. The healed samples did not show an increase in interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) after healing. However, for higher percentages of EMAA there was a reduction of this property, besides a reduction of Young?s modulus and glass transition temperature (Tg), in relation to the values presented by the unmodified composite. SEM images confirmed the strong adhesion between EMAA and epoxy resin, which produced an adhesive layer that prevented delamination in the mid-plane of the laminate.
