Abstract

The purpose of this paper is the development and analysis from the mechanical and micro-structural point of view a new biocomposite subjected to radiations, with applications in both nuclear industry and the accomplishment of parts in aerospace industry to reduce their weight and manufacturing costs. We refer to EMR that includes radio and microwave signals, infrared (radiant heat), visible light and ultraviolet, and x-rays and gamma rays. This new biocomposite improves the recycling degree meeting at the same time the structural and passive protection performances. A composite material may be subjected to radiations since is a part of a constituent material which operates in an environment with radiations or may be intended to be subjected to radiations to obtain material’s superior properties. In this second sense, the challenge is to reach some increased static and dynamic structural properties carrying out composites with enhanced characteristics that put better in evidence the sandwich structure concept. Since the field of composites is an interdisciplinary one and more than a connection between stable disciplines such as chemistry, physics or engineering, the experience from these is essential to develop new materials with well-defined applications..
