Characterization of hybrid composites produced with mats made using different methods

Abstract

This work is focused on the development and evaluation of manufacturing methods to produce short fibers hybrid mats. Different methods were developed, including: aqueous and fluidized bed. Composites were molded to help evaluating the produced mats. The analysis showed that composites manufactured by the fluidized bed method presented the best mechanical properties.
