Manufacture of student chair in composite material reinforced with fique fiber

The use of natural fibers as reinforcement for composite materials is on the rise due to need reduce environmental damage and manufacture sustainable products. One used this purpose fique fiber. This article describes a student chair with fiber-reinforced material. To choose amount be in elaboration chair, mechanical characterization several composites different percentages fiber was carried out, where it found that both flexural tensile properties increased higher insertion fique. selected material analyzed morphologically optical microscopy, finding there good adhesion between matrix. A simulation finite elements showed would resist load 100 kg. manufactured using Hand Lay Up technique composed polyester resin.
