Abstract
This work presents the study and characterization of a composite material obtained from the mixture of polyester polymeric matrix and residues of chicken eggshell. As collected shells were dried and broken to obtain three granulometries. The matrix used for the orthophthalic polyester resin, being chosen the percentage of residue of 100% by mass in matrix relation, as a function of preliminary tests for the diagnosis of saturation. The specimens were submitted to tests to characterize them through their mechanical properties, resistance to traction, flexion and impact, density, and moisture absorption. As expected, the proposed composite presented lower mechanical resistance than a matrix, characterizing the residue as filling load. In this way, all formulations of the composite have been applied in structures that do not require resistance to great efforts. The apparent density of composites did not show significant variation in relation to the resin. The higher quality of the composite studied was the reduction of the amount of resin to be used, since the load can reach 100% in relation to the matrix, reducing the cost of the obtained material.
