Dried Mango Leaf–Polyester Resin Biocomposite
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
This research focuses on the development of a thermosetting composite for the manufacture of a laminated panels that can be used in buildings as a wall covering, or as a false ceiling. The work consists of recycling dried mango leaves as a residue from harvesting or pruning, to be used as a reinforcement material in a polyester resin matrix. Five models were characterized to determine their physical and mechanical behavior, according to the Ecuadorian ‘INEN 3110’ standard regarding particle boards. The results obtained demonstrate the potential of mango leaves to be used as a reinforcing fiber in biocomposites. The development of this material helps mitigate the mismanagement of agricultural waste, whilst reducing the use of synthetic fibers.
