Abstract:
This study investigates the production and evaluation of curauá fiber-reinforced polymer composites using additive manufacturing techniques. In this context, the combination of additive manufacturing with curauá fiber-reinforced polymer composites represents an innovative approach to creating materials with enhanced properties. Moreover, the use of renewable and sustainable materials aligns with current demands for environmentally friendly solutions.The aim of this study is to analyze the performance of curauá fiber-reinforced polymer composites produced by additive manufacturing, focusing on their mechanical properties, impact resistance, and energy dissipation capacity. An experimental study will be conducted, which will include obtaining the curauá fibers, developing composite formulations, and manufacturing the parts using additive manufacturing. The characterization of the materials will be carried out through mechanical analysis techniques and ballistic performance tests, following established international standards for the evaluation of protective materials. It is expected that this study will contribute to the advancement of curauá fiber-reinforced polymer composites produced by additive manufacturing, providing materials with improved properties for various industrial applications and promoting sustainable practices in the materials industry.
