Conference Paper Description

This investigation presents results about the use of several natural fibers used in Colombia for centuries by ancient communities as cultural materials, some from the Andes mountains and others from the Amazonia region. Research present not only the traditional use, but also their potential use as reinforcement in natural composite materials. These fibers have been poorly explored from the engineering point of view. Indigenous people and farmers have used these fibers for millenniums as part of weapons, food preparation, ornaments, bags, and for cultural uses. These natural materials and their composites were studied with scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, impact, and other performance tests.
