Nowadays, due to the increasing need for good mechanical performance and due to the environmental issues, researchers have tried to replace synthetic fibers used in composites (such as glass fiber) for natural fibers. A natural fiber that has already been used in the automobile industry is the curaua fiber (Ananas erectifolius) which shows excellent tensile strength. Expecting to enhance some properties of the composites and to minimize the usage of resin, and this way minimize costs, it has been researched the utilization of fillers incorporated to composites matrices. In recent papers, it has been studied the utilization of red mud (waste of the bauxite industry) as filler due to the great availability, low cost and for being potentially dangerous to the environment. The objective of this work was to evaluate effects of red mud addition on the mechanical properties of Curaua fiber (Ananas erectifolius) reinforced composites. The results showed that the using of red mud as filler in volume fractions equal or higher than 20% and Curaua fiber in volume fraction of 5% was improved significantly the reinforcing effect.

Estudo da técnica de infusão de resina aplicada à fabricação de compósitos de matriz poliéster reforçados por fibras naturais da Amazônia
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2014-03-26) RODRIGUES, Jean da Silva; FUJIYAMA, Roberto Tetsuo; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3165747089941318; SOUZA, José Antônio da Silva; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6157348947425968
In this work were produced unsaturated polyester composites reinforced by fibers of curaua, jute and raffia, arranged in the form of fabric in plan style and aligned fibers. The composites were manufactured by resin infusion process, studying the main parameters that govern the manufacturing method, such as permeability and porosity of the reinforcement and architecture of infusion. Natural fibers were characterized according to their physical, morphological and mechanical properties. The curaua fiber reinforced composites were made using fibers in nature and treated by an alkaline NaOH solution at different concentrations. The composites were characterized in tests of tensile and impact strength, beyond of the determination of their physical properties such as density, porosity and volume fractions of the constituents. The results showed that the composites obtained better performance in tensile and impact were those reinforced with aligned curaua fibers manufactured under vacuum of 101.3 kPa. The evaluation of the cross section of the specimens showed that composites can provide partial saturation of wires or fiber reinforcement due to the vacuum level used mainly in reinforcements in the form of fabric with relatively larger diameter wires. The infusion process proved to be a good method of making composites reinforced with natural fibers, because in addition to being more environmentally friendly because it is a closed mold process, enabled the manufacture of products with high fiber content and good mechanical properties.

Influência do uso de resíduo do processo bayer nas propriedades térmicas e mecânicas de compósitos de base polimérica reforçados com fibra de curauá (Ananas lucidus. Mill)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2015-05-15) CUNHA, Edinaldo José de Sousa; QUARESMA, João Nazareno Nonato; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7826389991864785; SOUZA, José Antônio da Silva; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6157348947425968
In this work it was produced composite isophthalic polyester, using red mud (RM) and fibers of carded curaua (FCC) randomly oriented and aligned with and without red mud. The composites were made by hand lay-up process and compression molding. Isophthalic polyester plates were produced composites with polyester matrix and composites with RM and RM and FCC. Physical, thermal and mechanical properties of the composites were evaluated. It was found that the increase in RM in 30% (v/v) improves the mechanical, thermal and physical properties of the composites. The addition of 25% (v/v) FCC and RM 5% (v/v) recovering at 84% the modulus of elasticity compared to composite with 10% (v/v) and 5% FCC RM. In composites with 5% FCC randomly oriented and 30% (v/v) RM has 29% recovery of the modulus of elasticity. In composites with 25% (v/v) shows RM to be effective flame retardancy. LV is the influence of the thermal conductivity of the composite isophthalic polyester with increased (92% to 0 ° C) (71% at 25 ° C) (69% at 50 °C) composites with 30% LV compared with the matrix. The red mud and curaua fiber may be important inputs in composite isophthalic polyester, for the production of panels, walls, doors and internal partitions for construction.
