Evaluating the Fineness of Agave Americana L. Fibers
Source abstract
Abstract
Like all long vegetal fibers, hard or soft, agave Americana L. fibers show greatly dispersed fineness. In this paper, this dispersion is demonstrated using two approaches: measurement of the gravimetric fineness and evaluation of different aspects of diameter.
