pp 240-242 Abstract: The purpose of this project is to obtain new composites using filler and resins from renewable resources combining low cost and good mechanical properties. Composite materials from a linseed oil resin/styrene thermoset copolymers and pine wood- flour have been prepared and tested. The relationship between the filler content, porosity fractions and the mechanical properties of the materials were evaluated. Keywords: composites, natural resins, mechanical properties, woodflour.
