Paineis aglomerados a base de bagaco de cana de acucar e resinas ureia formaldeido e melamina formaldeido.
This work has as objective develops to characterize and to compare agglomerated panels (composites of polymeric matrices reinforced with vegetable fiber) the base sugarcane pulp with urea formaldehyde and melamine formaldehyde. For such a study they were produce panels being used sugarcane pulp coming of the plant of alcohol and sugar and pulp coming of stills. Also form molded panels being mixe d sugarcane pulp with particles, some times of pinus other times of eucalyptus and panels with and without paraffin seeking to improve some physical properties, as absorption of water, in thickness swelling and ta x of I don't return in thickness. Nine types of panels were made (treatments) each one with three repetitions, all with 9% of resin in mass, pressing cy cle of 40kgf/cm2, 160oC, for 8min. The microstructure of the fibers was analyzed through rehearsals standardized as: determination of the humidity tenor, ashes, extractive, lignin and density. They were being analysis TGA, DSC and MEV. For the physical tests the panels assisted American norm CS 236 66 of commercialization of agglomerated panels of average density. In the mechanical tests they didn' t assist American norm CS 236 66 of commercialization of agglomerated panels of av erage density and in most of the cases they obtained close results or superiors to the lifted up ones in the literature to agglomerated panels the base sugarcan
