Comparisons between some composites reinforced with corn leaves and different matrices

In this paper we build some composite materials reinforced with corn leaves. order to the samples, have firstly created strips in way: put leaves, continuously, on a sheet of where apply layer resin (we used epoxy and polyester ones). We waited for polymerization 48 hours, recommended by producer. leaves layers director tensile test (because will samples tensile). made 10 glued them together using same synthetic resins (epoxy polyester). end obtained composites from sheet, matrix is resins. From plate, cut study their statically mechanical characteristics test. The were tested an universal testing machine INSTRON 1000 HDX which assisted software called Bluehill. rectangular section determined: elongation at break, breaking strength Young modulus. also studied area..
