Alkali-Treated Agave Americana Fiber for Reinforcement of Fly Ash-Based Geopolymers

The mechanical properties of Agave americana fibers treated with NaOH solutions (1, 5, and 20 wt.%) for different times (0.5, 1 and 3 h) were investigated. At these conditions, tensile strength and ultimate strain of the fibers were determined. The treatment that required the minimum resources to im...
