Thermochemical and Tensile Mechanical Properties of Fibers Mechanically Extracted from Leaves of Agave angustifolia Haw

The leaves of Agave angustifolia Haw are waste of the mezcal industry in Mexico, but also a source of lignocellulosic fibers. This study investigates the thermochemical and tensile properties of fibers mechanically extracted from agave leaves. Cellulose (61.8%) is the main component. Tensile strengt...
