Natural fiber for reinforcement in matrix polymeric

The natural fiber market has been growing extraordinarily. Hereupon the current work presents of periquiteira tree Cochlospermum orinocense Amazon forest. chemical composition, physical aspects, morphology, thermal and mechanical properties this will be discussed. stability samples was about 200 °C. decomposition cellulose hemicelluloses in fibers occurred at 300 ºC above, while degradation happened above 400 This had good specific strength binding due to their low weight presence high (60.15wt.%), lignin (12.03wt.%). More pronounced mass loss indicated amorphous regions cellulose, finally reached a peak approximately 390
