Abstract

Natural fibers today play an important role las reinforcement in composite materials. The objective of this work was to obtain the adequate parameters for the manufacture of hybrid composites with curauá fibers and graphene oxide nanometric particles in the Polyester matrix, looking for the optimal variant of greater resistance to traction and flexión. The curauá fibers were treated with different NaOH solutions and different immersion times, different fiber contents and different graphene oxide contents were used. In the work was used Taguchi method to determine the quantity of experiments necessary and for evaluate the results. Micrographs were made using the Electronic Scanning Microscope and X-ray diffraction to determine the effectiveness of the treatments performed. Mechanical tests of traction and flexión were carried out and the results showed an increase of the resistance to average traction of 156% in relation to pure Polyester and a 186% of the resistance to flexión.
