Portland Cement/Acrocomia Aculeata Endocarp Bricks: Thermal Insulation and Mechanical Properties [PDF]
Materials, 2020 In the last few decades, Portland/residue composites have been researched due to their technological and environmental advantages. In this study, residues of Acrocomia aculeata (Jacq.) Lodd endocarp (AE) were introduced in the Portland cement–soil (PC) matrix in different concentrations (0, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 50 wt%) to produce PC/AE bricks.

Pericarp development in the macaw palm Acrocomia aculeata (Arecaceae) [PDF]
Rodriguesia, 2012 The anatomy of the pericarp of the macaw palm (Acrocomia aculeata) was followed during development. Ovaries of flowers collected at anthesis of the bracts as well as pericarps were evaluated at different development phases using traditional plant anatomy techniques. The ovary wall has two meristematic regions, one adjacent to the external epidermis and
