Polymeric Composite Materials Reinforced with Protein Fibers - Variation of the Mechanical Properties Depending on the Concentration of the Reinforced Material

The paper presents the results obtained by the authors in the research of the mechanical behaviour variation of the polymeric reinforced with protein fibers composite (CFP) depending on the reinforcing material concentration in the elastomeric matrix. The determination of the mechanical behavior variation depending on the reinforcing material concentration is important not only to establish a convenient concentration to obtain some mechanical properties required in any field of application, but for obtaining an optimal method of choice of some values in its concentration, so that the composite material to satisfy a certain property (value) or even a number of mechanical properties.
