| Abstract | The development of composite materials using vegetable fibers as reinforcement is increasing and comes conquering new market segments, because the vegetable fibers have low cost, biodegradability, lower density and good mechanical properties, physical and thermal suitable to industrial applications. This paper presents the results of recent research about the fiber of Bambusa vulgaris performed in the laboratory of wood anatomy of the Federal University of Lavras, where were evaluated their dimensions and relations between them, as well as the micro fibril angle. The main objective of this study is to show that these unconventional materials may have similar properties and/or superior to other materials that traditionally come being employed in the production of composite materials. The results of the research has shown that the values of angle of micro fibril angle (11.54o), length (2,299.47 µm), fiber diameter (13.93 µm), lumen diameter (3.81 µm), length/width ratio (172.53) and cell wall thickness (5.06 µm) will be able to maximize the mechanical properties of composites where they will be used becoming then stronger and lighter compared with other fibers. |
