Caracteriza？？o química e estrutural de fibra de sisal da variedade Agave sisalana

in recent years, the interest in the use of natural fibers in polymeric composite materials has increased significantly. in this work were investigated the structural, thermal, chemical, and physical properties of brazilian sisal fiber from agave sisalana variety. our aim was to evaluate the quality and the performance of this fiber for industrial applications. mechanical properties, chemical composition, x ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy (sem) have been investigated with fibers along their length. the brazilian sisal fibers studied have exhibited mechanical and thermal properties within the range reported in the literature and were suitable for use in polymeric composites.
