RESUMO
The study of fibers from the Pantanal has been performed with the purpose if assisting research related to nanofibers and nanocomposites as fillers in polymer matrices. Were perfomed to characterize the plant species of the Pantanal (bocaiuva, tucum, taboa and camalote) on the content of lignin, hemicellulose and cellulose. By the process of calendering, the extraction took place and these fibers were characterized by thermogravimetry, diameter and morphological analysis by scanning electron microscopy was used to obtain information to technological advances such as nanotechnology.
