Toughness of polyester matrix composites reinforced with sugarcane bagasse fibers evaluated by Charpy impact tests

The fibers extracted from the sugarcane bagasse have been investigated as possible reinforcement for polymer matrix composites. The use of these composites in engineering applications, associated with conditions such as ballistic armor, requires information on the impact toughness. In the present wo...
