Structural and Chemical Characteristics of Sisal Fiber and Its Components: Effect of Washing and Grinding

This work covers the study of microstructural changes of natural sisal fibers induced by different conditioning pre-treatments: mechanical grinding, cryogenic grinding, and hot water washing. The aim of the work is to clarify the effects of the pre-treatments on crystallinity and infrared spectra of...
