摘要
The State University of the North of Rio de Janeiro State is currently engaged on a large development program to exploit the potentialities of sugar cane industry in a self sustained nonpolluting program. Sugar cane is a traditional industry responsible for the main fraction of the economy of the northern region of the State of Rio de Janeiro, also known as the North Fluminense region. In this respect, a project of particular interest is the use of the sugar cane bagasse waste as reinforcement to polymeric resins for fabrication of low cost composites. In the present work a study was carried out on the possible uses of bagasse waste as reinforcement in polyester matrix composites. Preliminary results have attested this possibility. Composites with homogeneous microstructures could be fabricated and the level of their mechanical properties enable them to have practical applications similar to the ones normally associated with wooden agglomerates. Future developments are expected to increase the performance and competitiveness of these composites as compared to those of other materials in the same structural class.
