Mechanical and Thermal Characterization of Congolese Agave Sisalana Natural Fibers
In this study, Agave Sisalana plant fibers supplied from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) are characterized. Tensile test to determine their mechanical properties and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) to determine their thermal properties are performed. Fiber diameter is measured using an Industrial Optical Microscope (Nikon Eclipse LV150, Japan) considering the average value from 3 sections of 3 fiber samples with 50X, 100X and 200X magnification. Furthermore, the ASTM D3379 standard is used in the evaluation of the tensile properties by using a Universal Tensile Testing Machine (Shimadzu Autograph AGS-X, Japan) with a 5kN load cell capacity. The experiment is performed with a 30 mm gauge length and 1 mm/min crosshead speed. To ensure sufficient fiber fastening to the tensile machine, fiber is glued earlier to a rectangular structure of 40 mm in width and 50 mm in length. Both sides of the frame are cut to free the fiber sample before the tensile test. Thermogravimetric analysis is performed to determine the thermal stability of the fibers. The results obtained from these test and analysis are compared with similar studies in the literature and interpreted comparatively.
