  Abstract

Agave fibers were extracted mechanically without the use of solvents or water, through a lyophilization-assisted method. Then, the internal arrangement of the fibrils was studied in order to elaborate a hierarchical growing model, using this information to explain the outstanding properties of these natural fibers. We found that the lyophilized fibers have an initial modulus of 36.7 g/den, a breaking tenacity of 1.45 g/den and an elongation of 17 %, while the fibers washed with water after extraction presented a similar value of initial modulus (31.1 g/den), but the breaking tenacity (2.59 g/den), and the elongation (34 %) increased nearly two times, showing the embrittling effect of the freeze-drying on the fibers behavior.
