Mechanical Characterization Of Natural Fibers Composites Submitted To Extreme Temperatures

Abstract

The objective of this project is to study renewable natural fiber materials found in Brazil for potential use as light weight composites. The research will look at natural fiber characteristics with focus on their low density, thermal, and strength characteristics suitable for a wide range of environments required by unmanned aircraft use.
