The present work presents a study on the mechanical and interfacial behavior of cementitious composites reinforced with unidirectional curauá fabric. The composites were produced with matrices made of distinct pozzolanic mineral additions: rice husk silica, sugarcane bagasse ash and metakaolin. The surface treatment of the fiber was carried out with impregnation of two abrasive materials in epoxy adhesive: aluminum oxide and sand. The rheological and mechanical properties of the matrices were obtained through tests of consistency, flow table, and compressive strength, respectively. For the reactivity’s analysis of the additions, pozzolanic activity index tests were performed, based on chemical and mechanical principles. The evaluation of the mechanical and microstructural performance of the composites was done by means of direct tensile tests and four-point bending. The morphology and mechanical behavior of the fiber, fiber-matrix interaction and interfacial transition zone (ITZ) characteristics were verified by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images, pull-out and direct tensile tests of the filament and fabric. The results indicated that it is possible to produce high performance composites with natural fiber reinforcement. Specifically, the use of metakaolin resulted in composites with the best mechanical performances and interface characteristics, and the matrix was selected for the reinforcement with the treated fibers. The surface treatment proved to be effective in increasing fiber stiffness and, consequently, the fabric, in addition to improving fiber-matrix bond, rendered it a hydrophobic behavior. However, the high bond achieved gave the composites the reduction of ductility and toughness, along with the improvement of flexural strength. The objective of this study was to present alternatives to renewable technologies, low cost and environmental impact, key factors in the development of civil construction materials, through the deepening of the study of fiber reinforcement of curauá, and the performance of different agroindustrial residues used in together with the respective surface treatments on the fiber.
