Resumo

One of today’s biggest concerns has been environmental issues, which has motivated researches and the development of materials from renewable resources and environmentally friendly. Natural fibers have excelled in replacing synthetic fibers used in composites manufacturing, because natural fibers are biodegradable, abundance in the nature, low cost, low density, high strength, among others. Due to these qualities, some natural fibers are used for many purposes in automobile industry. However, the natural fiber has irregularities and pores in its structure which directly impact the density determination by geometricGeometric density techniques and, accordingly, the volume of fibers used in composites. Therefore, the main objective is this study is to determine the density of curaua fiberCuraua fibers by pycnometryPycnometry and to compare it with the commonly used geometric technique.
