Composite de bambú laminada (BLVL)

Abstract

Abstract: Bamboo is considered Vegetable Steel, due to its great structural potential and physical-mechanical properties, it has very strong natural fibers that make it possible to obtain products such as agglomerates, laminates, panels and floors. In the present investigation a laminated material was developed from polyester resin and bamboo fibers, 300 grams of fiber and percentages of 70, 80 and 90% polyester resin were used, through the processes The developed material was subjected to experimentation tests physical: humidity, specific gravity, swelling and water absorption, fire resistance, mechanical tests: resistance to flexion and emission of gases. Based on the experimentation tests, it was determined that the 70, 80 and 90% samples of resin subjected to the physical-mechanical tests exceed the admissible values ​​established by the UNE 56.709 standards; 56,710; 56,711; 56,712; 56,713; 56,714; NCh 935/1 Of.97; INEN 804. The composite material based on bamboo fibers, subjected to physical mechanical tests attributed favorable mechanical performance to be used in different architectural areas such as furniture in general, partitions, walls, wall covering, partitioning panels, ceiling, wall covering, modular dividers and mezzanines etc.
