In this study, the behavior of biocomposites reinforced with natural fibers from African palm and sugar cane in a recycled polyethylene matrix is investigated. The aim to analyze rheological mechanical properties these materials optimize their processability by injection. Natural treated through steam explosion process subsequent drying grinding were used obtain size suitable for extrusion. Biocomposites different percentages fiber (30% 40%) prepared evaluated melt flow index (MFI) capillary rheometry tests. results indicated significant reduction material fluidity increasing content, which was mitigated addition lubricant additive, stearic acid. Simulation injection made it possible determine crucial parameters such as pressure filling time. Subsequently, tests carried out varying temperature concentration, followed tensile evaluate resistance injected specimens. showed that additive significantly improved material, facilitating its without damaging machinery maintaining good properties. This study provides solid foundation development eco-friendly potential applications plastics industry.
