Evaluación de fibras de excremento de bovinos como material de refuerzo en resina epóxica

Abstract

The following work will evaluate the effect that bovine dung fibers can have as a reinforcing material in epoxy resins. To this end, a comparison is proposed between a specimen containing only resin and another where the resin is used as the matrix and the dung fiber as the reinforcing material. Through appropriate mechanical testing, the decision is made to evaluate whether the composite material can improve its properties, taking into account the ratio of matrix to fibers. In parallel with the engineering objectives, the aim is to contribute to the ideologies of sustainable progress through ecology, applying this material to simple structural applications in places where the primary sector of the economy is developed, generally in rural areas.
