Dentre os comp?sitos, t?m-se, especialmente, os materiais de origem org?nica, que possuem maior potencial de biodegrabilidade e por isso t?m apresentado relev?ncia e destaque no cen?rio contempor?neo de preserva??o ambiental e desenvolvimento sustent?vel. Seguindo essa perspectiva de apelo ecol?gico, foram desenvolvidos comp?sitos com insumos naturais brasileiros. Esses comp?sitos foram fabricados com l?tex (borracha natural) e fibra de carna?ba, em diferentes propor??es m?ssicas. As formula??es variaram em 5%, 10%, 15% e 20% de fibra em rela??o ? matriz. Esses materiais foram concebidos visando aplica??o em sistemas de isolamentos t?rmicos que requeiram prote??o t?rmica de superf?cies e/ou redu??o de perda de energia t?rmica. Para tanto, os comp?sitos foram caracterizados atrav?s de ensaios t?rmicos de condutividade, calor espec?fico, difusividade e termogravimetria. Assim como, tamb?m foram caracterizados quanto aos seus aspectos f?sico-mec?nicos, atrav?s de ensaios de densidade, teor de umidade, resist?ncia ? tra??o e dureza. A caracteriza??o dos materiais revelou que a os comp?sitos apresentam potencial de isolamento t?rmico superior ao da borracha natural que foi utilizada como refer?ncia. Dessa forma, os materiais comp?sitos em quest?o apresentam-se como alternativa vi?vel e eficaz de concep??o de novo material isolante t?rmico. === The development of composite materials encompasses many different application areas. Among the composites, it is had, especially, the materials of organic origin, which have the greatest potential for biodegradability and so, have been bringing relevance and prominence in the contemporary setting of environmental preservation and sustainable development. Following this perspective of ecological appeal, it was developed a biocomposite material with natural inputs typically brazilian. This composite was made from latex (natural rubber) and carnauba fiber in different mass proportions. Formulations had varied by 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% of fiber in relation the matrix. This material has been designed aiming at application in thermal insulation systems, which requirethermal protection surfaces and/or reduction of thermal energy loss. Therefore, the composite was characterized by thermal conductivity testing, specific heat, thermal diffusivity and thermogravimetry. As has also been characterized for their physical-mechanical, by testing density, moisture content, tensile strength, hardness and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The characterization of the material revealed that the composite presents a potential of thermal insulation higher than the natural rubber, that was used as reference. And the formulation at 15% fiber in relation the matrix showed the best performance. Thus, the composite material in question presents itself as a viable and effective alternative for new thermal insulation material design.
