Summary: | The objective of this work was to analyse the feasibility of the
utilization of rice husks and wood particles in the manufacture of wood
plastic composites, in a way similar to particleboard fabrication. The
composites were made with rice husks and Eucalyptus grandis wood
particles, pure or mixed, in proportions of 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% of
ovendry weight. High density polyethylene (HDPE) was used as matrix in
the manufacture in three proportions: 60, 75, and 90%. Bending
properties, internal bond, water absorption and thickness swelling
after 24 hours of water soaking and after 15 soaking cycles were
evaluated. The values of bending properties were influenced by the
density of the composite. In the case of internal bond, the values were
within the limits established by commercial particleboard standards,
being the HDPE proportion the parameter of higher correlation with this
property. Rice husk caused lower thickness swelling and, independently
of the type of raw material utilised, the values decreased with the
increase of HDPE. Combinations with larger percentages of HDPE
presented minimal values or, in some cases, null of water absorption.
For the water absorption and thickness swelling after 15 cycles the
behavior was similar to that of the 24 hour period. Results allowed
concluding that the composites made with HDPE, rice husks and wood
particles pure or mixed present good quality, evidencing the adequacy
of these raw material and process in manufacturing this type of panel.
Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a viabilidade da
utilização de casca de arroz e partículas de madeira
para a manufatura de compósitos, tendo como agente ligante o
polietileno de alta densidade (PEAD). Os compósitos foram
produzidos com casca de arroz e partículas de madeira de
Eucalyptus grandis, puras ou misturadas, sendo que cada tipo participou
com 0, 25, 50, 75 e 100% em proporção de peso seco. O PEAD
foi usado como matriz na confecção destes, sendo testadas
três proporções: 60, 75 e 90%. Os compósitos foram
manufaturados de forma similar à fabricação de chapas
aglomeradas com as dimensões de 0,5 x 5 x 25 cm formados em
camadas em um molde de aço, e foram avaliadas as propriedades de
flexão estática, ligação interna,
absorção d'água e inchamento em espessura após
24 horas e após 15 ciclos de imersão. Os valores das
propriedades de flexão estática foram influenciados pela
massa específica do compósito. No caso da ligação
interna, os valores ficaram dentro dos padrões e |
