Popis: The manufacture of mechanical components by means of biodegradable composites is the best alternative at the moment of reducing cost and weight, maintaining the mechanical characteristics. In this work the mechanical characteristics are shown as the result of combining a polyester matrix resin with a reinforcement of animal fiber such as horsehair. The results obtained correspond to mechanical characterization tests at traction, bending and impact by dart drop according to rules ASTM D3039/D3039M-17, D7264/D7264M-15 and D5628 respectively, made in four groups of test pieces of material combining a polyester matrix resin and reinforcement of horsemane. The development of materials composed of horsehair as reinforcements offers similar mechanical characteristics with traditional materials such as sheet steel or polymers, but with a considerable weight reduction, ideal for automotive applications such as bodywork or interior parts of vehicles.
