Alkali/Ultrasound Treatment as Alternative to Modify Structural and Thermal Properties of Agave tequilana Fibers

This study aims to investigate the effect of alkali and ultrasound treatment on the structural (XRD/FTIR), morphological (SEM), and thermal (TGA) properties of Agave tequilana fibers, which could be useful as reinforcement for biopolymer composites. A decrease in 35% lignin content at 3% NaOH concen...
