Resumo
The study o
f natural vegetable, fiber reinforced polymeric composites became popular in the
last decades since because this type of material enables the reduction of both the biomass
waste and the cost of the final polymer product (MARINELLI, 2008). Plant fibers are plenty, low
cost, they feature biodegradability and renewability. Moreover, cellulose polymer composites are
more resistant to flection and impacts than the same base polymer material (FONSECA, 2005;
HILLIG, 2008). Specifically, cellulose from annatto seed s is present in concentration at around
40 45%, which becomes important for industrial use (ANSELMO, 2008).
In this work, the bagasse from annatto seeds after reddish pigment removal has being used to
obtain high density polyethylene (HDPE) composites. T he original raw material underwent a
pretreatment that extracted the components from seeds such as residue of remaining pigment,
sugars, proteins and acid fats. The remaining fibers have been dried and mashed, and then
submitted to electron beam irradiatio n with doses of 30 kGy, 50 kGy and 70 kGy to verify the
effect of the radiation on the cellulose structure and its subsequent effect on the incorporation
into polymer matrix. The study covered the extrusion of these fibers (irradiated and non
irradiated) i n the ratio of 1 % to 5 % with HDPE.
The sample characterization has been done by infrared spectrometry (FTIR), thermal
degradation (TG) and mechanical tensile tests. The results are then discussed.
