Abstract
The worldwide concern to reduce the environmental impact and find solutions for the depletion of non- renewable natural resources is an incentive for the research and development of sustainable materials. The search for new materials takes into account factors such as need and sustainability. Several studies have been carried out to create cleaner processes with the use of renewable raw materials, generating products that are environmentally friendly without losing quality or performance. Vegetable fibers are inserted in this context as a promising alternative for the manufacture of composite materials. Thus, the objective of this work is to manufacture and study the mechanical properties, by flexural tests, of a composite with polyester resin matrix and reinforcement with random and unidirectional taboa fiber. It should be noted that the composite with unidirectional fibers presented higher resistances when compared to the fibers in random order. The result was satisfactory for several everyday applications.
