Abstract The crystalline character of Agave americana L. fibers and its relationship with mechanical properties were studied. Comparative investigations between three different types of fiber extraction were made: raw fibers, distilled water extracted fibers and seawater extracted fibers. A wide angle X-ray diffraction technique was used and cellulosic phases in the three samples were identified. A diffractometric analysis was applied to determine percent crystalline component, microcrystallite sizes, unit cell dimensions and monoclinic angle. The crystallinity of raw fibers was 51.2 % and dropped with extraction in water. The unit cell dimensions a, b and c for raw fibers were 8.9 ...
