Geotextiles are highly deformable synthetic materials formed by polymeric fibers similar to a fabric. As their name suggests, geotextiles are similar to textiles and can be rolled, cut and sewed. These are used for engineering works, particularly in geotechnical applications. There are two types of geotextiles: tissues and nonwovens, which are used for filtration, drainage, separation, reinforcement, barrier-building and protection. This work develops a characterization using scanning electron microscopy (sem) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (eds) in order to identify the morphological and chemical characteristics of two types of geotextiles: fortex and fibertex. Chemical elements distribution and morphological characterization are based on spectrographic analysis. This allows establishing the potential of geotextiles for new uses in the electronics industry, such as energy generation on roads and the printing of microcircuits and electronic devices in geotextile fibers.
