There are few studies about Moringa oleifera derivates in polymer developments where vegetable oil was used as a plasticizer and a biodegrading agent. The polymerization of moringa oil (MO) was carried out assisted by microwaves without catalysts presence. There aren’t studies about the polymerization of MO using microwaves technology. Moringa’s oil and its polymer (PMO) were used as a biodegrading agent for mi...
Composites may be obtained by the mixture of two materials, which one of them is a polymer, with the objective of produced a material with a specific characteristics. Vegetable oils (VO) are mixture with conventional polymer to improve biodegradation capacity without loss mechanical properties. VOs polymers are an alternative to conventional polymers on composites. Previous studies showed that the mixture of Mo...
Programa de Pós-Graduação em Engenharia de Materiais. Departamento de Engenharia Metalúrgica, Escola de Minas, Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto.; Junto ao consumo exacerbado de produtos cada vez mais industrializados, cresce também a preocupação com o descarte pós uso de embalagens e peças já sem utilidade. Neste contexto, a utilização de materiais compósitos biodegradáveis, ganha notoriedade na pesquisa cien...
