Extraction and Characterization of Agave gigantea Fibers with Alkali Treatment as Reinforcement for Composites
The new natural fiber was extracted from Agave gigantea leaf as a reinforcement in an environmentally friendly composite material. In this study, the leaves were chemically extracted using alkali treatment with NaOH concentrations of 0%, 2.5%, and 5% to obtain cellulose fibers. The alkali treated fi...
