Abstract

A natural fiber presents interfacial characteristics with polymeric matrices that favor a high impact energy absorption by the composite structure. The objective of this work was then to assess the Izod impact resistance of polymeric composites reinforced with one or two layers of batt malva and jute fibers. The results showed a remarkable increase in the notch toughness with increasing layers of mauve blankets and jute. This can be attributed to a preferential debonding of the fiber/matrix interface, which contributes to an elevated absorbed energy.
