Abstract

Guarumã or guaruman fiber is a viable alternative, compared to the synthetic fiber, as reinforcement in composite . Differentiated properties like mechanical strength, biodegradability, and renewable resource are reasons of interest for the development of materials with this fiber. Guaruman fibers (Ishinosiphon Koern) can be found in the regions of floodplain in large quantities and, therefore, is a potential raw material as natural fiber . In this work, guaruman fibers were analyzed using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR ) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results indicated that this fiber showed structures in rectangular forms.
